At present Plasma 5 is not ready for prime time. It is cripple-ware. I'm seriously considering reinstalling Tumbleweed (and KDE4).
Did you read the whole mail that introduced this thread, in particular the last paragraph? I asked for constructive feedback. "Cripple-ware" is not constructive feedback.
Bear in mind that the soon-to-be-released 5.3 version is much improved compared to the current 5.2. I wouldn't have recommended 5.3 for default if it weren't.
Hi Graham,
The problem I had when I thought about whether to take part in this survey and which way to go is that I'd be voting on something I hadn't seen, i.e. 5.3. The state of 5.2 at the time this thread started was that it was an alpha version and, for me, completely unusable. However, with the last update it became a beta version - having a working file manager helped a lot! In respect of the progress I'm seeing, this is a lot like KDE4 which only became usable at about version 4.3.
If you have concrete issues please report them upstream or at novell bugzilla, as appropriate. Alternatively, we have also answer here if there is a concrete problem with software or packaging... (wrt dolphin, it's required by base plasma5 pattern since the beginning - if there was a bug with it, it was plasma unrelated)
The problem with Dolphin was that it couldn't be started (a missing file as I recall, vaguely) but that was fixed a couple of days after I noticed it. As Konqueror was also missing, that didn't leave much. Main problem I have is with the task-bar; doesn't auto-hide and all tasks are located on the same desktop after each restart.
