Heck, even some of the other updates are positive (and necessary) UI/UX improvements like highlighting newly installed apps in the app launcher, triggering DND when an app is in fullscreen mode (and focused), informing the user if the mic is muted when an application is trying to use it, and even adding a warning/disclaimer when a user tries to, 'presumably' configure the clipboard system tray icon alone without knowing that under the hood, it's actually affecting the service and why they might not want to do what they're doing (they have to fix this tho long term).
All in all, it's always a good time when Nate Graham is summarising these positive changes up :) NOW I look forward to the day when we'd have a dedicated settings page purely for configuring ALL touchpad gestures.. PLEASE. I'm happy all the drawing tablet folks are getting the love from KDE on #Wayland, but it'd be so nice to have this for the touchpad too considering how many people use these on laptops or even PCs with touchpad i.e. #Apple's Magic Trackpad. For now, these people need to rely on hacky workarounds like using #Touche/#Touchegg, which isn't even meant to work on Wayland (but somehow it does, without none of that one-to-one gesture goodness tho unfortunately).
