What I do not understand from a user's point of view is the following. In this thread it is argumented that having a default or even having a pre-selection on that installation page would send a message which could offend, insult, disappoint etc. Gnome users.
Considering the claim from some in the KDE community that they're offended, insulted, disappointed, etc because KDE isn't a preferred/ default/first selection, it seems reasonable to apply that metric evenly across the memberships of both groups of users, no?
If I take your Cons, then SLE alienates KDE users, contributors and does not encourage KDE contributors to choose SLE. Sounds pretty harsh to me. Would all those claiming that there is an alleged "anti-Gnome message" in pre-selecting KDE agree that SLE sends and even clearer "anti-KDE message"?
No moreso than Kubuntu sends an anti-GNOME message to Ubuntu users. SLE is a derivation of openSUSE. That it prefers GNOME over KDE isn't IMHO any more significant than any other distro having a derived distribution that uses a different package set or desktop environment.
