I think this helps hugely! And I am so happy the rumors are NOT true.
I don´t know any important distribution that have drop KDE or Gnome
Slackware. That's what SUSE was based on and it's the oldest of any distros around now.
completely, I just don´t think that´s the point the thing is that SUSE is by now the best KDE distribution out there, that's why i'm a SUSE user and that my friend is going to change.
Feel good about that, I have a friend who is RedHat to the bone. He actually has a RedHat he wears.... *Sigh*
And i can see only two important reasons to focus on Gnome:
1. Mono, but why not to force Icaza to implement QT in Mono !!! He´s answers about it are ridiculous, is that more difficult than focus all SUSE on Gnome ??
2. LGPL, Is easy to make closed applications using Gnome than using KDE.
So yes, i thing this is a bad thing
