Qt is LGPL and has been for literally decades. LGPL is fine.

Kdab? I have no idea what you're talking about here.

Hasn't been my experience, and also "everything" is simply a lot less than KDE. For example most of the network settings are not available - you have to use some third party app that isn't installed by default (`nm-connection-edit` or something).

Notifications are also awful in Gnome. They are the same colour as the background so difficult to notice (I had to end up editing some random CSS to fix this), and they disappear if you just mouse-over them. No history. I missed so many meetings.

I'll give you that Gnome looks nicer. KDE has improved a lot but it still has some amateur looking parts. But it's just so incomplete!

Spot on. Wonder if it's any better in latest versions?

		Notification centre has been there since 3.x era. Though it's accessed by clicking the clock so perhaps it's not very intuitive.

If you mouse over a notification in GNOME Shell, it stays in your notification tray. It only disappears if you click the x in the top right corner...
