because not everything that changes from 14.10 to 15.04 is KDE, and having to 
loose all those other advantages to avoid the regressions in KDE is very 
limiting.

I also lost all my settings. Worse, on my laptop (lenovo T61 with 8G of ram), I 
can't start firefox from KDE, it causes something to crash and I end up back at 
the login screen.

so for now, I'm running a different desktop. I'd like to use KDE, but I can't do 
so if I can't run firefox.
