will freebsd15 have default desktop?

I've been running with i3 since forever and I'm happy and I know it (claps my hands).

Off the top of my head, I do recall KDE 3 having a kuser utility... Yeah, it was not the most reliable thing, but that did not make or break my DE experience.

To me, a DE needs to offer visually convenient ways to organize files - properly working drag-and-drop, sorting files by date or something else, looking at stuff side-by-side - and yeah, not crash if I do something weird with the mouse.

For a DE I do feel a user manager (and network, and service mgr) needs to be present. Otherwise it is basically just a glorified window manager and file manager. (Which is fine, many users use just that!).

Basically the KDE (and Gnome) in ports are so stripped down that they are basically just WMs at this point.
