Well, you could install any other of the many desktop environments that are available.
Except KDE4, which isn't. Is there an alternative DE that uses kwin, but not Plasma 5?
KDE3 uses kwin as well, but of course a very old version of that. You should be able to use kwin with other DEs as well though.
You should even be able to install KDE4 again, the packages are still in the repo.
Not in Tumbleweed, it would seem:
Yes, the versions you have installed are not available any more, because those packages have been updated as well (kdebase4-workspace to 4.11.19 e.g., kdebase4 and kdebase4-runtime to 15.04.1, and so on). But the packages are still in the Tumbleweed repo (in different versions), run e.g. "zypper se -s kdebase4-workspace" to see. Note that I have no idea if YaST/zypper will let you install them though. In the worst case you'd have to download the packages manually and install them with rpm. As I already mentioned 2 weeks ago (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2015-05/msg00147.html), I maintain a repo on OBS with Plasma5/KF5 packages that install to /opt/kf5 and therefore don't conflict with KDE4. I already added the "lost" KDE4 applications to my repo, and I will add the Workspace packages too if necessary (I'm not using Tumbleweed myself, I have to assess the current situation first in a VM). If I'd give them a different name, they won't be replaced by Plasma5 at all, and my repo also allows you to install both at the same time.
