I think this illustrates something important - that the discussion (read argument) isn't about default DE, but about something else. Until that something else is brought into the open and discussed directly rather than by proxy then the "issue" will remain and keep coming up whenever there is a choice between KDE & Gnome. Not discussing issues because of the emotion involved is an easy path to divorce. I have no axe to grind on this - I use KDE on desktop machines because I'm familiar with it. I have interoperability issues with some software, which irritates me. I use Gnome on servers - I don't remember why - probably because some key piece of software only ran acceptably on Gnome at the time several years ago when I set up the first server. I'm also using XFCE on a development machine because it's lightweight. I use WinXP & Vista & MacOSX also. I tend to set up new users in KDE because I can make them comfortable with it quicker. I tell them there are other DEs and may show them images, but few change. Most people just aren't interested. They just want it easy to use.
