I tried Neon for the first time last week. I hadn't used KDE since 2008 because I didn't like it back then, I was distrohoping but it wasn't made for me. Neon is a great improvement over what I used back then, I loved the looks and the eyecandy got to me so I ran it on a VM. The thing is that, for me, it didn't feel right. Looks amazing but I still don't like KDE. Maybe because I love XFCE and would rather use Gnome 2 or MATE, don't really know why. It's a matter of taste I think.
