I don't think he is knocking gnome. He is making a couple of general statements.
1. When it comes to Linux users in Europe. More of them use KDE than gnome.
2. One of the reasons this is true, is that Konqueror when packaged with all of it's options and plugins as it is by KDE and most linux distributions, is very useful.
3. That Ubuntu/Kubuntu comes with a Konqueror that is compiled with the majority of the plugins disabled. Thus gelding it of much of the usefulness that he has come to know and expect from Konqueror.
If you want to run Gnome and Natulus, or XFCE and Thunar, that is fine with him. He is asking the same question I am (and I live in the states). Which is why do the Ubuntu projects like to strip so much out of Konqueror? They could even compile most of it in and just have it disabled in the config files. But Nooooooooooooooo. They remove much of the goodness that long time KDE users have come to love from Konqueror.
