Sometimes i even remove kickoff and put some other menu widget there. Milou looks very much like an application suitable for todays search needs. Nice and grouped. KRunner is missing that overview.

My concern is more on how the users will see it. Will they understand that Milou and Kickoff work differently or will they think that we ship redundant features by default? So yes they serve a different purpose, but from an end user perspective I rather doubt it.
