I like how gaps make things feel a little less cluttered, and show off the colors of my wallpaper. Same reason I use i3 with gaps on. It feels like everything is nicely organized instead of shoved together. In the end it’s just an aesthetic preference.
Meh. I have a 1px gap for all my windows on bspwm. But I also have no bar at all. I just commit one workspace to a full screen btop on session start.
Am I wasting screen space? Probably…at the end of the day, I feel more organized, but others could easily point out that ideally I’d have 0 gaps and no btop and no bar, and that would be best for organization. Afaic, it’s just personal preference.
It’s a feel thing. I have two screens, with a minimalistic bar taking about 15 pixels on the top side of the secondary monitor. No opened apps or anything displayed there, to see that I’ll just press Alt tab or the plasma overview (very gnome-like). That feels less cluttered than a bar that, to have the floating effect, steals me more vertical space than what I have.
This is very personal so it’s nice that KDE let’s us do whatever we want. IDK about the default choices as long as they let us change it to whatever we like, so I don’t really care.

I’m surprised you find that the gaps makes things feel less cluttered. Imo it looks considerably more cluttered.
Off-topic, but there’s a cat that lives nearby that has your name
Well tell him to give it back
I can’t. He wears it too well

how’s more white space going to make it more cluttered

Of course! To each their own.
