This is a KDE user support list. By nature you won't find posts like "Hey, 
plasma is working, can you help me?"...
But seriously, complaints are always the loudest. Personally i am running KDE 
*with* semantic desktop and kdepim, and it works very smooth. Note, this is 
personal experience in my own workflow and machine. This doesn't reflect any 
other situation. Do i ever write to such a list about my happyness with it? 
No. Happy users only rarely write something to mailinglists about thanking the 
devs.
So even if this list is full of complaints, and - let's say - there are around 
10 rants per month, nothing else, how does it compare to some million kde 
users worldwide? not at all. Hope you get the point.

It pretty much sounds like frustrations. You take your own unstable system for 
a global issue. Believe me, it is not. Neither do i say, as my system is 
highly stable every other system is as well. 
As you said you do report bugs, which is highly appreciated. But like with all 
bugs, they need to be reproducable, else they are hard to fix. The more useful 
information the better.
