   Answering that question could end up in a very lengthy discussion.   
   There is a group of people that for various political or technical    
   reasons does not like KDE and/or the used QT libraries.   
      
   There is another group that does not like the seemingly haphazard ways    
   in which Gnome is integrating various applications.   
      
   Personally I have no objections against the KDE project and actually    
   like the fact they do not try to artificially avoid some of Microsoft's    
   smart adaptations of the Desktop. Yes KDE can look like a MS Windows    
   clone but it is not, more importantly it works.   
   A working Trash and cross-application cut and paste are some of the    
   strong points of KDE.   
      
   The Gnome desktop has spurred the development of some of the greatest    
   programs for Linux desktop use.   
      
   So the great thing of Linux is that you can mix all these applications    
   to your heart's content, with the various distributions of *ubuntu    
   available it's even easier to do this mixing.   
      
   Konsole is a nice twist to the basis of Linux, the command line.   
   Kmail just works, especially when you feel comfortable with MS Outlook    
   Express it is an easy program to get into.
