The problem I have with plasma is that it's easily configurable but not easily extensible. I have tried multiple times to write a widget to run on the panel, but QML is so different from traditional Qt that I haven't been able to make sense of it yet.

Why can't I just write I widget in PyQt and have it run without learning something completely new?

I agree with your point in general, but to be fair in this particular, situation, QML is very very close to existing stuff as opposed to being something completely new

Think of it as JavaScript with different Qt widgets.
