I've only been involved with the community since 2007, but I've been a SUSE user since 2003, and we have NEVER been forced to use GNOME, ever. In fact, it wasn't even an option until 10.0 or 10.1 (without digging around in the Software Selection options)
And to complete that, Novell announced the drop of KDE from enterprise products and "change of focus" to gnome.
OK, but that's the enterprise software. That's completely different from what we do here.
Decisions for enterprise affects Opensuse, as Opensuse is the base for the enterprise releases. For example, if JFS is not available in the enterprise releases, chances are it wont be available in Opensuse either. We had gnome forced (in the distribution, not forced to use, stop twisting what I've said, once again), yes, because even the gnome people in Novell didnt want to fix bugs. It affects all the users the way I explained: some software or libraries maintained in gnome side would be buggy and affect people using the gtk software even if they arent gnome users.
