The main reason many in the business world tend to lean toward GNOME over KDE is usually due to license issue related to QT/Trolltech vs GTK.
But this issue disappeared over a year ago, taking with it GNOME's sole reason for existing. It was launched in a fit of pique over the QT license, and with that issue behind it new development in Gnome has not kept pace with KDE.
Yep! But many of the corporates still labor under QT license fears IMHO. They often take a couple of years to catch up on these sorts of things - in comparison to the devs that usually find out the news in no more than a month or two. This is why I think they still prefer GNOME - because they haven't gotten the news that the QT question is mute now. I could be wrong but having worked around the suits in healthcare - I can assure that (at least in my experience) those in the technical fields are generally light years ahead of changes in their respective fields than the business focused propeller heads are at any given moment (no bias here - ;) ).
