Plasma 6 is really polished and simple. I think anyone familiar with windows would be able to grab and run with it immediately.

No hate for anyone that likes other desktop environments, I as a long time windows user just really appreciate how familiar KDE feels.

The familiarity is great but the thing that really draws me to Plasma over Gnome is that the KDE developers seem to have an attitude of just implementing the features people want even if it's not perfect yet. Gnome is polished, but it's missing so many basic configuration options out of the box.

To be fair, it has a thousand different settings and you have to manually click Apply to see them in action.

It's flexible and popular, but I don't know that I'd call it simple. It still feels 90s in a lot of ways.
