--- Comment #22 from flan_suse <windows2li...@zoho.com> ---
I'm telling you. As I sit here using the "Legacy Launcher" it feels much more
elegant and SNAPPY.

The VERY moment I hover over an item or tab it is activated. (And this is good,
because everything is isolated from each other: Favorites, Applications,
Places, History, Session)

It doesn't matter if I move the cursor perfectly vertical... or at a slight
87-degree angle, or with a slight skew, or in a "twitchy" zig-zag. Whatever my
cursor is hovering over is "active", and I can click on it or navigate through
it. This is true 100% of the time. No unintended targets or "filters" that
ignore my mouse position. No fancy attempts to predict my movements. No need to
play games with my cursor or do little "wiggles" to make sure I'm "over the
target".

I click on the Legacy Launcher and move my cursor up and down, as my favorite
items are IMMEDIATELY registered the MOMENT I have over them.

I click on the Legacy Launcher and move my cursor sideways, as the tab I want
is IMMEDIATELY activated (such as "Applications" or "History".) Now in these
separate sections, I don't need to worry about any collisions or accidental
triggers.

EVERYTHING is intuitive and snappy.

This is not so with the new launcher. It feels "fidgety". Hovering your cursor
over something doesn't always activate it. It "depends" how fast you're moving
your cursor and at what angle... that's ridiculous.

What other software has to try to "predict" the person's mouse movements, just
to use its menus and buttons? That's such a poor way to design something.
Imagine if you wrote a reply in this discussion, and tried to click "Save
Changes", but it doesn't register because you moved your cursor "too
vertically" to reach the button? (Because it predicted you wanted to navigate
to something else?)

I'm pleading with the devs here. Please just give KDE users a simple, intuitive
launcher with easy targets and no ambiguity on its behavior. (The Legacy
Launcher was practically perfect.)
