The KDE themes (like most things that run for theme today) are way too "fluffy", with rounded corners, gradients and highlights everywhere and stuff. What I'd really like is something resembling parts of the Windows XP design (*not* window decorations!), like menus which are nicely designed with an offset border for the icons and a high-contrast selection marker. It really pays to have fulltime designers sometimes, even if they're coming up with Luna every once in a while. And mark my words, Luna is an Abomination unto Nuggan.
KDE (as is GNOME) is trying to push into the main stream. Since the vast majority of users today have previous Windows experience, they mostly want something that is familiar (i.e., like Windows). Besides, there are alternative themes, or you can design your own.
In short, I want an interface that gets me paper cuts when touching the monitor ;-)
