Before Maui I used Netrunner 14.2 with KDE 4.14. It was a fabulous distro, the best I've ever used in all my Linux days 
My experience with KDE 4.14 was excellent, everything worked perfectly. A few days ago I coincidentally booted that Netrunner, which I still have on a secondary disk and I had 2 completely contradictive feelings 1st was that it brought good memories of it and how all still worked perfectly. But the 2nd was that it looked so old compared to Maui, the design was visibly older. But it is still an excellent system. Anyway, my experience with Maui is similarly tremendous. Since starting with Maui I've tried Fedora 25, Antergos, Mint 18 and Manjaro just for comparison sake, and the experience was nowhere near Maui. It's astonishing how easily one get's used to when things just work and starts taking it for granted 
those other distros had all sorts of issues, that Maui doesn't have, at least not for me
