KDE Goals - A New Cycle Begins
(blogs.kde.org)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Very nice.
I'm very excited, because in the past I have bounced off KDE development. Coming from a java and web background, the tooling and dev environment was just mindboggling.
I dunno. Having worked with Java and c#, web dev, c++, I found working with QT in C++ to be so much easier.
Let me be more concrete then. What I am used to is the following:
Every step is a button click or a entry field in a dialog. These steps also work on every major distro. And I wish for a similar experience when developing KDE Plasma.
For completeness, I will try to do the same dev things and list the steps for KDE Plasma development later (in about 8h).
IDEs have come a long way. But I've done qt development using Jetbrains Clion IDE and QTCreator. I don't remember it being that difficult. Then again, I started programming using Turbo Pascal and Turbo C. So ....
