2 cool reasons to use the K Desktop Environment
But looks aside, I want a desktop that does not get in my way, one that makes it easy to get to stuff I need in a user-friendly manner.

Let’s see how these cool features look on a recently reviewed distribution.
Let me start with the Stackfolder. It is a very simple widget that you place on the panel. It makes it possible to access files and folders in your home directory without launching Dolphin, the file manager. This screenshot shows the home directory view. You can drill down into a directory to access its files.
