I would probably hate this (which may be why I've never found tablets useful.) However, the KDE team are wise enough to realize that tablets and desktops are different. So far, they haven't pushed a unified tabletdesktop interface on their users, and for that I commend them.

I keep seeing people say over and over that tablets & desktops are *DIFFERENT*. I'm not really seeing it. The screen real estate is generally more than I had on my first serious PC, definitely more than I had on my first PC-compatible, and *WAY* more than I had on my TRS-80. The input methods are a bit different - but then, I'm one of those weirdos who kicked the on-screen keyboard out the door in favor of graffiti (even using a finger rather than a stylus, graffiti is a *MUCH* faster way of entering text for me.) Sure, on a tablet, the touchscreen orientation of the interface makes things a *bit* different, but it's hardly a major difference. I've seen full-sized desktops with touch screens - and yawned. I don't *need* some revolutionary new approach to desktops to work very effectively on a tablet.
