Plasma in itself is not too bad. I use Plasma, but not Konqueror or 
Akregator. Find the applications that work best for you. Just because 
you use Plasma doesn't mean you need to use the rest of KDE's 
applications ;-)

My browser is Firefox, my email client is Thunderbird, my image viewer 
is eog (Eye of GNOME), etc, etc.

I think my only KDE application is my file manager, which is Dolphin.
