From a business decision perspective, it seems like a good one.  Gnome 
has more of a look and feel similar to the MS Windows interface that 
most businesses are used to using.  If they are looking at getting 
businesses to convert to a SuSE Desktop, then keeping the learning curve 
down would aide in that process.

Personally, I will mourne the loss of KDE.
