Which one? KDE5?
KDE Plasma 5 is now default on Kubuntu 15.10
on Kubuntu 15.10. After all the updates
installed, it works very
well on my Core 2 Duo with 2gb of ram, from the 2008 or so era.
I haven't tested. Perhaps Felix hasn't either. But why does it matter?
Why must TDE constantly compete? Why is it a competition? Each person
uses what her or she likes. If you prefer KDE5, I see no reason why you
shouldn't use KDE5. Why does TDE have to become like it?? If KDE5 is now
faster than TDE on similar hardware, good for it.
Yes, everyone uses what he-she likes. I think you didn't understanded what
I wrote in the way I meant it. Plasma 5 is overall much faster and
responsive than KDE4 on the same hardware.
Ah! From what I heard that wouldn't be difficult. But as neither an Ubuntu
fan nor a KDE4+ fan I haven't used it. If I want/need an Ubuntu I use
Lubuntu.
TDE is more responsive (when it
doesn't lockup) than KDE4 and Plasma 5, but TDE does take more time to boot
than Plasma 5.
Interesting. Fast boot-up seems to be th order of the day. But does it now
make a difference what is underneath?
MS-DOS isn't much used anymore (as in not
competitive), because it does not
fill the needs of most computer's users out there. This is just an example.
I would analyse its demise as being hardware related. Many of us liked it,
but it is not up coping with to modern hardware.
Difference and individuality are part of what Open
Source and Free Software
are all about.

Yes, differences and individuality is part of open source world, but we
should all (all) be respectful for other's work and other individuals.
Of course. That goes without saying. It is par for the course.
