  You are certainly picturing a more demanding and nitpicky user than I am but those do exist. I wonder where those expectations you mention would be coming from but I agree that if an apple® fan installs Plasma with the preconception it can be made to be exactly like macOS they'll be in for a reality check. I don't really think the existence of a "Cupertino/Pear/Raincoat" theme would worsen that problem though. That's what I meant when I said "I don't think users actually expect that unless we market it as such."
  Anyways, going with "some layouts using existing plasma stuff" is alright as well even though this feels like we would be needlessly limiting us from offering layouts that are tried and tested.
