--- Comment #24 from Max <maximts...@gmail.com> ---
I agree with your point that KDE is all about choice, but the choice should not
only be about using one start menu or another: the start menu itself should
provide the choice and ability to configure it for user's liking, at least the
most frequently requested options. You don't have to install whole another
taskbar widget in order to get the ability to place it on the right side of
your screen, right? 

Almost every thing in KDE interface has some options and configurations — in
fact, there's so much of them, that I keep discovering new options and hidden
features even after 6 years of using KDE. And yet, for whatever reason, devs
decided to make an exception just for the new Kickoff launcher, implementing
quite arguable UX decision and leaving no option to change it, with the
argumentation like "get used to it or change the launcher". Just as you
mentioned, it feels a lot like macOS, when "big company" forces you to accept
their vision on how to use the computer, instead of allowing you to implement
your vision. This is not what KDE is all about, in my opinion. 

Your "solution" about using the Legacy launcher doesn't fit for me, because I
quite like the new launcher, I like the grid layout much more that a list one.
Also it's the only launcher that will be actively maintained and get new
features. But I don't like the left-side sidebar and hover activation — even
the legacy launcher had an option to disable hover activation, despite it was
less neccessary there.
