The vast majority of people use Windows.
The Windows desktop has features about like IceWM or something. There's a taskbar, some buttons, stuff on the desktop, a clock and the menu.
Let that set in for a moment, then realize that to a lot of people, this qualifies as a feature creep.
I'm telling you that, from ~experience~ with ~real people~ as the IT administrator at my company, that if you get someone using Gnome, and then one day switch it to KDE, it's unlikely they'd even ask unless you changed the menus around and they couldn't find something.
This is just another stupid Gnome vs. KDE or Vi vs. Emacs or Pepsi vs. Coke argument, or whatever mundane non-issue you wanna take and turn into some debate of inherit morality.
