Something I've liked about KDE recently has been the push for movable, sizable, and groupable widgets and sections in the UI. Some follow some sort of convention. Most don't. I'm hoping Calligra standardizes their UI stuffs, as right now it's kinda random.
Desktop environment != distribution. It never has. Even Unity can be run on other distributions. This means we've ALWAYS been there. I don't know anyone who associates what distribution is being run to what
KDE, GNOME, XFCE, OpenBox all ring a bell? They're DESKTOP ENVIRONMENTS, not distributions. You can hop on your Unity Ubuntu and install KDE, or Debian and install Gnome3, or Arch and install Unity if you so want!
It has NEVER mattered what distribution someone runs, as it has never been synonymous with what DE they use, or apps they run for that matter.
Why is Tizen even mentioned? Right now it is NOTHING beyond a web site. They're the true vaporware!
Here's why WebOS had me excited:
It represented a forward-thinking ideal in user interfacing. It was HTML5-based. It used standard linux libraries (such as the ubiquitously mentioned libpurple). It had a logical user interface which was both coherent and universal.
Android may be pretty on the surface in some regards, but it is ugly on the back end. It is proprietary in many ways!
I want WebOS to succeed because it is the most elegant solution.
DEATH TO DALVIK!

Compression is your friend. Also, weeding out things you don't use. Hording is problem in the digital age as well.
They also want ALL cars to have back-up cameras: http://news.consumerreports.org/cars/2012/02/car-backup-camera-rule-delayed-again-by-nhtsa.html REALLY?! It's more likely that you get bitten by a shark while being struck by lightning than run over someone backwards.

What current candidate thinks the TSA should go away? I want to vote for them.
I've tried a bunch of stuff recently, and keep coming back to KDE simply because I haven't found anything nearly as awesome as krunner.
