Cinnamon is great and elegant! Having said that though I haven't used it
since I removed the Manjaro partition that contained it (since it also
contained non-free things).
In terms of elegance and tidiness I think KDE plasma is a little bit behind.
Not by far, but a little bit behind.
Have you seen Plasma 5? It was released a few days ago.
https://dot.kde.org/2014/07/15/plasma-5.0
I hadn't. I've just now seen a page on it, went here to edit my post, and I
was too late :)
Anyway, my opinion on KDE Plasma 4 is still that's it isn't as good as
Cinnamon...
The lockscreen was improved in later versions of Plasma 4, you'll probably
see it in Belenos. But the new lockscreen is even better. :)
I haven't been a fan of the KDE Plasmas... but Plasma 5 looks pretty cool.
Does Triskel 7 come with Plasma 5? Or will it auto-update to Plasma 5?
What's the key combination for this search feature? Does it work like
Synapse?:
Trisquel 7's repository almost only contains what the Ubuntu 14.04 base
contains. KDE Plasma 5 is out of it and will probably always be. You will
have to use a PPA.

As Magic Banana said, Plasma 5 won't be in the 7.0 repos because 7.0 is based
on Ubuntu 14.04. Ubuntu will include Plasma 5 in 14.10, so Trisquel 8.0 will
include it. That will be in about 2 years
