I find KDE to be pretty ugly.
For instance, margins and paddings seem to be all over the place [1]. At least Gnome gets that part right.

I personally like KDE and it's Breeze Dark theme a lot.

I then instinctively went on to the top of the article to check on the date, to get an idea of when was "this week" for the author... but there is no date. Oh, well :-)
Opening the post itself (instead of reading from the main page) does indeed change the UI and it now happens to show the date.
Loved the irony...
This all shows that even for people dedicated to it, getting UI/UX right is hard.
Everything is so LARGE and padding between elements is YUGE. The tech is cool and everything seems to work fine, but something about the UI just grates me.
Also, KDE is the most customizable DE of them all, and it has the most powerful features of them all (by far). Given that, all these "but it looks kinda bad!" comments sound insane. It's like choosing a push mower over a motorized because you like the finish on the handle.
... it has been feeling like that for the few years I've been following it.
