That's the most common complaint I also hear around hidpi support.
Scaling window accepting only integers and not decimals makes it pretty
much unusable.
Yep, that makes GNOME practically unusable on semi-HDPI screens like Carbon has - you have too small or too big everything. And the worst scenario is when you mix it with FullHD external monitors (at least, this is fixed with Wayland - somehow). Unfortunately Qt guys decided to follow integer only approach (even it's internally implemented as floats) and the only sensible fix is to set font DPI in KDE settings. Also Plasma scales pretty well then and it's possible to find balance between too small on laptop and too big on FullHD :).
