Note: I'm a KDE user since... KDE 1?

RedHat is a business and its main market is the enterprise market.
Like it or not, from the business user stand point, GNOME -is- superior.
OpenOffice is (at least for now) better suited to be an Office 2K3
replacement.
Evolution is (by far) better suited to be a Outlook replacement.
Clearlook is much better for the unsuspecting eyes and the GNOME
interface is much cleaner.

So why do I use KDE?
Eye-candy, choice, konsole, konq file management, kate, kpdf and having
the ability to seamlessly integrate evolution, OpenOffice and (g)vim
into it...
