Your reasoning doesn't make sense. I too want to use my computer to do
stuff and the "pretty bling-bling" from KDE doesn't bother me at all. I
know it's there if I need it but it's not preventing me from doing stuff.

I think the argument is that there's so much bling-bling that you can't figure out how to do the fairly simple things you really want to do: blinded by the bling, so to speak.

I haven't used KDE in a while now, so I can't pretend to speak about whether that's still true or not, but it definitely used to be an issue.

That's why there is the kpersonalizer which comes up the first time you
use KDE and it has a "bling-bling" slider (if you want to call it that)
which you can slide all the way to the left and all the "bling-bling" is
gone. It's that easy! I can imagine even the doctors of GNOME developers
can operate that slider ;-).

Now, why can't GNOME have such a practical "bling-bling" slider?
