I've used GNOME since RHL 5.2. KDE was added later. I used KDE first 
when Mandrake was an RHL 5.2 distro with KDE added. I played around with 
KDE for awhile, then switched back to RHL.

I don't know what survey the above statement is based upon. Redhat added 
KDE as a choice. GNOME and other desktops were before KDE.

I rarely use KDE, but install it as a failsafe and for different 
choices. I don't dislike KDE. I just feel more comfortable with GNOME.

Having an option to choose one or the other is my preferred option. I 
can understand if streamlining products to less choice is a corporate 
strategy. They might have a better grasp on the common used.
