Who are you talking to, because i'm fairly sure i haven't said these things. I as a KDE user recognise: 1) There is no argument for selecting KDE because it is technically better 2) That opensuse benefits from its commitment to providing equal support to both Gnome and KDE 3) Gnome is not going to be sidelined as long as Novel is committed to shipping it in commercial suse products 4) That have a pre-selected default DE may not provide the best outcome for opensuse when all factors are weighed 5) That Gnome is a premier opensuse DE and thus should not be filed away with "other" DE's All I would argue is that if a pre-selected default DE is the right course of action then that DE absolutely should be the most popular DE. And if you are going to do that then providing silly fudges like pre-selecting KDE but listing them alphabetically does nothing but create confusion, and destroy the entire purpose of having a default DE; i.e. to provide a streamlined install experience.

So, say simply that, without trying to make comparison. Just decide on the base of the number of users, without suggesting that choosing KDE will have wonderful consequences automatically, or without digging out old facts and without claiming a "right" or stating that someone is enjoying an undue privilege. That's what is annoying, not the discussion on a default in itself.
Best, A.

the decision to choose a default isn't driven by 'fairness', it is being driven by the need to provide a better install experience for newb users.
