I find that Plasma 5 is capable of booting, from login to desktop, faster than TDE on the same machine. This computer is an humble Core 2 duo with 2gb of ram, probably from 2008 or so.
I also do not understand the point. When used on desktop or notebook and needed a fast boot I always use hibernate. When I'm on the road with the notebook (happens from time to time) I need just boot once (enable wireless and boot into the !on the road profile") and then always hibernate. Works like a charm.
What I like in TDE is the focus on keeping the working old stuff until the new one gets usable enough. So far KDE4 and KDE5 are big disappointment. I'm just wondering who's using this crap and KDE keeps promising that it would get better ... but it doesn't and the years go by.
I also think there are many bugs and fields for development, where we can really improve TDE and keep it usable (example what Timothy did with HAL). Example bluetooth support with bluez5. So why would one spend precious time on doing something less usable ... just to have something shiny and fast(er) booting ... this makes me lol and makes me sad in thesame time.
There should be a priority list like in the old times, where we all join forces and kill the problems one after another.
