Great list there!
Agree with all of them except that my stable media player is Kaffeine.
Suse just makes it so easy enabling all the codecs I need on Kaffeine
and the one click install is the first thing I yearn for getting other
distro's media players up to speed.

I use and love KDE 4.2. I admit that 4.1 and 4.0 weren't worth using though.
However I don't subscribe to the whole religion. I have gnome (factory) installed too. The software I use on a regular basis, as I've judged it to be the best:
Desktop Environment: KDE Login thing: GDM Music player: Banshee (new amarok sucks) File browser: Dolphin Web browser: Firefox Email: gmail webclient Editor: kwrite (far better than gedit imo) Quick programming: Geany Instant messaging: pidgin Terminal: Konsole (significantly better than gnome terminal) Office: OO.org Movies: VLC Graphics: Gimp Quick bitmap editing: Kolour Vitualization software: Virtual Box (surpassed vmware in every regard now, except ease of creating shared folders) Graphics driver: fglrx (radeonhd still sucks, sorry =/) Password management: KeePassX Archiving: Fileroller (latest ark is trash and doesn't support drag and drop) Torrent: ktorrent Window manager: kwin (although i'm forced to use metacity when i'm in gnome.) Mapping: Google earth (rocks) PDF viewing: Okular (That gnome thing has a few too many quirks)
So yeah, quite a healthy mix here.
There still are still issue with KDE, and I still occasionally use gnome (just to be disappointed by lack of progress). KDE 4.2 really makes it worth it, and I'm looking forward to 4.3 to fix the few and minor issues I have with it.

I'd be interested in hearing from those who use it and what their experiences are.
