KDE is an experiment to pack 20 big things in a bag that can only hold 5 things. Then add one more thing in next release. And make every pixel clickable.

KDE had always been about adding 100 more features, 20 more toolbar buttons, etc. (and let that sink in)

I suppose some power users like that they can really do everything with it.

KDE 6's out of box experience is really good. You can tweak it to your heart's content, but you don't need to. It's not "every pixel clickable" unless you deliberately made it so. Older versions of KDE were more like you describe.
