Here – here’s how you configure it to have all the decorations left-aligned if you want that for some reason. Took me all of 20 seconds:
sandwich buttons on sidebars
Not sure which sidebars you’re talking about … and not sure whether you’re complaining about having the sandwich buttons there (and apparently not being able to get rid of them?) or if you’re complaining that the sandwich buttons aren’t somewhere else instead.
no native toolbar widgets
Again, not sure which toolbar you’re talking about? Must be talking about some app’s toolbar, right? Because if you want ‘toolbar widgets’ on the desktop, you could easily add an extra ‘panel’ at the top, call it a toolbar, and put various widgets in it.
You can do some light theming, but the overall way it works is the same.
Eh… I think you just haven’t really gotten into it. You can do a lot to change how KDE works. Like … crazy a lot. It’s kind of (in)famous for being so customizable.
If you go into specifics about how you want it to work, I bet I can figure out a way to make it work like that.
But … you can easily change how it looks?
Not really.
You’re still stuck with right aligned decorations, sandwich buttons on sidebars, no native toolbar widgets, etc.

It’s not sufficient.
Uh … no you’re not.

I’m pretty sure he’s talking about client-side decorations.
Never tell a Linux user you can’t change something…
