KDE is a pig of a desktop. To many features all over to accomodate everyone. Some may say that is good and I am glad that they enjoy it but there are other Window managers that have complete functionality to get things done. It just depends on the type of nix user you are. People that want a desktop like Windows can choose KDE. People that want a desktop that runs and is functional without all the bloatedness can run many other window managers that I think can do the job. For one Gnome. Also fluxbox, xfce, Suns new Mad Hatter and a few others. Also who needs all the bloated features of KDE if your using nix to its max by using the shell. Just my opinion.
