Yes, I couldn't agree more. I'm trialling Kubuntu 16.04.1 (Qt 5.5.1). The Icons-only Task Manager is a pale shadow of what it is in KDE4. I've been hoping for an improvement ever since I tried K15.04 but it still sucks. The range of settings in KDE4 is so far superior to what we have in Plasma5. It looks better with the standard Breeze theme but unfortunately I prefer the Oxygen theme overall and the icons are too small with that.
