I said it, yes, but later I corrected myself.
I agree with you, apps should be found as fast as possible, may be in an own 
menu in the panel or anywhere (plasma?).

I agree too, and don't forget some administrative programas that hang from 
"Internet" or "System" submenu, as "Kuser", "KwifiManager", "KSysV"...

Please, be realized that not all the KDE users work in an office with a system 
department. Most users maybe "home users".

Find out that Windows is very used because all the people use it at home (they 
can install programas easily and configure the system easily too), so they 
don't need training to use Windows in their work.

And of course, a person who lives alone and uses KDE needs to configure the 
network, the WI-FI, the printer, fax... or should he pay to a systems 
administrador to configure his computer?

This is true.
