Talking of awesome KDE apps, digiKam 8.7.0 has just been released!
KDE’s full-featured image and photo managing software enhances its face detection and recognition feature, improves support for GPU actions, and updates its RAW decoder, G’MIC plugin, and more.

Reminds me of this post
My attempt of reducing the insane UI buttons everywhere to make it a bit cleaner
It is still way too much, and unlike other Qt apps (like QGIS for example) the panels are not all configurable.
I am sure it is really great software, but this cosmetic issue makes it extremely overwhelming to newcomers. People just dont expect this load from anything.
