Well I have certainly stirred up the hornets nest. I am happy but not
surprised to see that everyone takes such pride in their work, this
just reinforces my decision to use Fedora. The reason that the other
KDE desktops I have seen appealed to me so much was just that reason
you stated above. They are different. GNOME is or was(i haven't fired
up another distro in quite a while) much the same look and feel in
Fedora as it was in SUSE. GNOME felt generic, i was naturally inclined
to dislike it for that very reason. The KDE I found on Fedora looked
more like GNOME than any other I have ever used. It is purely a matter
of opinion, so why take offense? OK, now I will concede the point
without further comment.
