... finally, the fundamental reason why the Gnome / KDE split is actually a good thing comes to the fore. From what I've seen, it seems like Gnome has been heavily emphasizing "dumbing down" the desktop for some time, aiming for consistent and, well, pretty enough but boring, where KDE is more about power users, custumizability, and bold creative moves. (And yes, they both do both, quit fighting eachother.)
Overall, F/OSS needs both. I hope they opt to stick to refining their own vision and suggesting people sort themselves out rather than try to please all the people all the time.
