    The main thing stopping me from giving KDE a chance is its use of Qt. The Qt company gives off extremely scummy vibes, and the fact that KDE needs a special licensing agreement with them is gross.

      I'm not bothered by what the Qt company does, since the special licensing is airtight and guarantees Qt in its fullness is available to KDE under GPLv3 or BSD even if they go under or go full evil. If it ever happens, it would take months for upstream Qt changes to affect my desktop, plenty of time to migrate to MATE or whatever.
