It fills a desire. I know a lot of people that liked Mint KDE (never used it myself), so those people will probably gravitate toward this.

There was also some frustrations with Cinnamon that were alleviated with KDE.

Smaller team, I'm willing to bet if they do, it'll take them a little longer than a large team like Arch or Neon.

Im sure thats the case but for awhile the Neptune team was able to do it, but recently they stopped, probably the same issue.

I like these devs. Theyve updated to KDE 5.17.5 and the 5.3 kernel fairly quickly. Theyve added more themes/looks and fixed quite a few minor issues.

Im surprised that Feren isnt a bit higher on Distrowatch given its KDE Mint based which had a lot of fans originally.

There have been some really strange reviews recently over at Distrowatch for this distro. I honestly dont understand them as Ive run this distro on 5 different systems both desktop and laptop and had zero issues with it. Very stable and works just as well as KDE Mint if not better.
Could be specific hard ware issues for some users or people with older systems that typically have issues with some distros.
