People who have switched from vanilla GNOME to KDE Plasma: did you try to emulate GNOME's workflow on Plasma?

Personally, not. The reason I switched to Plasma is that I didn't like the basic layout – horizontal bar especially – and wanted a desktop environment that allowed me to customize positions and sizes of bars and so on as much as possible.

Still baffles me why they steal the screen's usually scarce vertical real estate with a horizontal bar, instead of putting it on the side...
