I didn't knew that GNOME and KDE _should_ integrate ;-) so I don't get 
your point about KDE being forcing.
Anyway I belive that David tried to point out that KDE lets *you* 
configure it fully as you want, while GNOME limits you because of all 
usability stuff (HIG and so on).

Anyway after I have tried Evolution, Kontact and Thunderbird and 
remained with Thunderbird.
