=Description=
We should focus on making a KDE Plasma environment a lean, mean productivity machine for ordinary users who are not skilled at the command line. Our users should not have to become terminal experts to create at the speed of thought.
=What it will take=
We will need to focus on adding productivity-related GUI features and quality-of-life issues in our software's GUI interfaces, particularly in Plasma, Dolphin, KEdit/Kate, Okular, GwenView, System Settings, and Discover
=How we know we succeeded=
People will love using Dolphin in particular, and we should get a lot of positive press for fixing many longstanding productivity issues.
