Hi Kevin,
We can scream from the hills that KDE and GNOME are equally as high quality and respected choices in our products, but now, our actions don't reflect it. We're telling new users that "KDE and GNOME are just as good (but you'll really want KDE, you know?)" How should that feel to members of the community who work on GNOME, or people like me who are only involved in the project because of the high-quality GNOME desktop?
And what do you tell all the KDE users and developers who find GNOME to be the default on SUSE Linux Enterprise? Your arguments apply to them as well. I think many KDE developers have been disappointed in the past because Novell chose to prefer GNOME. And SUSE always has been a KDE distribution before the acquisition by Novell. There are always two sides of a decision. And taking into account that the large majority of openSUSE users prefers KDE, I believe that was the right decision.
