If SUSE stops supporting (with money) the KDE development would you call that a minimal loss?
I wouldn't think so, it's MAJOR!
Yes, it is. Perhaps SUSE feel that KDE is far enough along now that they can proceed with less help from SUSE. Maybe they want to now help GNOME so that it can reach the same completeness as KDE. (Flame away. Don't care. My opinion is my own.) Then there may really be two desktop choices. This way, they do not have all their desktop eggs in one basket. Maybe SUSE's KDE experience will be useful in making GNOME and KDE play nice together. Of course, some sort of roadmap from SUSE would help. I hope they are working on one. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB
