It is not just in look that the GNOME and KDE DE's differ.

Asking a user if he is using GNOME or KDE is not silly. There are
different channels on the IRC for openSUSE-gnome and openSUSE-kde.
People who use one of these DE's have to reach out to the appropriate
IRC channel and for that they have to know whether they use GNOME or
KDE. Based on which channel he is in, he gets help accordingly. The only
people who face a problem with this are those who use both desktops. The
"Help" in both the interfaces are also good and useful I think.
