This is one of the first things I always tweak in KDE, so I love this change, but I’m curious how others feel.

    It’s not a holy war issue for me, but it is the first thing I change when I’m on a fresh KDE system. While I haven’t had any angst about it, I’m selfishly happy for the change. I realize there’s just a different group of people who will now have to make the opposite adjustment, but dem’s da brakes.

    And, I have to admit it might be less likely to throw off someone coming from Windows defaults.
