I am hoping KDE will win on the convergence angle.

The KDE team have been working on convergence longer than anyone else, working slow but steady and seeing others leap in and make the mistakes. What is good with the KDE approach is that the KDE team have had the sense (after pressure form users mind, but GNOME, Ubuntu, Microsoft et al would not listen tot heir user base so it counts) to have different user experiences for different devices.

KDE plasma works like a desktop on a desktop machine and smartphone on a smartphone whilst retaining software compatibility. Compare with the Unti/Gnome 3/Windows 8 and maybe Windows 10 fiascos.

Early days but the first Plasma smartphones are coming out. Trouble is... I don't do devices, even a smartphone. If I did... my clients would be whatsapping me 24/7!!!
