The development of KDE doesn't seem any slower to me than Gnome. But it does support my workflow much better due to the customization options!
KDE is relatively smaller in scope than GNOME. Besides, GNOME has taken on its own hurdles like compatibility across devices, the userbase is also different so they're less likely to contribute towards areas like gaming for example.
What lets GNOME dominate developer wise right now are adwaita and the language barrier - KDE is mostly c++, whereas in GNOME you'll find a mix of languages and outreach programs like GNOME circle.
I'm not saying you're wrong on all or even most points, but just by itself this comment is basically a marketing post.
By what measure, and which parts of the projects are you taking into account?
KDE has also taken on its own hurdles. By the way, compatibility across devices is one of the best examples of feature creep if you don't need it, as most Desktop users don't!
Don't see how that's relevant to the development speed of the environments and their customizability.
Again, by what measure? Does it result in faster development of helpful features for my workflow?
KDE also has outreach programs, so this also doesn't show much.
We're 3 comments deep in a 20 hour old topic, nobody but us will be reading this.
I'm curious, do you have any links?
