That is the beginning and the end of the story.
Sorry dudes... But I will not be upgrading to Fedora 22, or 23 or
whatever. At least for the next year and a half I will be chugging along
with kde 4.x and using a different distro.
The impact of KDE5 is that severe on my day to day use.
I found kde5 more or less unusable initially,
because of freezing and also some problems with KMail.
But now I'm finding it quite usable with Fedora-23beta.
However, I do not see any actual advantages over kde4 for my simple uses.
(Nor did kde4 seem any better than kde3, I repeat for my simple use.)
Booting on my Fedora/KDE laptop seems to me much inferior
to previous versions, and also takes longer.
I liked the icons that came up to show me the various steps
as they were completed.
I don't like the meaningless horizontal bar that is gradually filled,
but in my case at least is never completely filled.
