Best is certainly subjective. If I a GNOME user I certainly don't want a
whole bunch of KDE packages to have K3b installed. If I just want to
burn some files quickly nautilus cd burning is more suitable. For other
purposes there are programs like Brasero.

I'm not only giving my own personal opinion, but also of a few other
people who switched from windows to linux desktop. And they love k3b
more than they did Nero on the "dark" side :)

Installed by default in where? The GNOME based live images wouldn't have
enough space. KDE based live images already have them. If you choose KDE
in "Fedora" spin you get k3b by default too.

I installed gnome desktiop from Fedora 7 test 4 dvd, and I feel that
from DVD it should be installed by default no matter what DE I choose.

Gnome has some programs that KDE doesn't and also is true for the KDE
(qt). There is no point sticking to only one platform - the best apps
from whole array of linux apps should be presented to new users. Users
don't care it it's qt or not.

Merge will get such programs more maintainers hopefully.
