 I read the discussion, and I find Alessandro idea valid. You don't want to mix 
apps with mimetypes.  Doing so would feel strange and decrease the user 
experience.

What is also worrying me is that I've just received KF 5.26, and the icons of 
kick-off (places, applications, favorite) are almost like in a earlier 
version: monochrome and simplistic [1]. I really like it, but what is 
problematic is that you keep changing the experience of the whole environment, 
and changing the rules when we get use to it. 

Please consider taking a path and keeping with it, so that people are not able 
to say that the Plasma desktop is just an experimentation field. We want 
stability in our software, the experience must be stable as well.

Oh, and please don't take it as an aggression.  I love what you do, I wouldn't 
be able to do half of it, I'm just trying to be constructive, and know you 
will read me with that in mind.
