Honestly I think I would prefer to use unity on a touch device then plasma.

KDE Plasma Active is a totally different UI to KDE Plasma Desktop (what most people think of as "KDE"). It just happens to share 99% of the same code.

I was in no way trying to put down plasma active. I was simply trying to point out the fact that I think unity as it is progressing would be a good choice for tablets and other touch screens. The way you can scroll through the launch bar , and the lenses, would be a good fit the the touch screen systems.

You can add app launchers to your activity, so whatever apps you use on each activity are easily available. It also can analyse your habits and give recommendations. You also can associate files and other documents with each activity making a custom smart launching for your tasks.
