Which respects? You only mention your personal preference of KDE.
Fedora Core is supposed to be a cutting edge distro, and for the most
part, it is. As a community, however, we must not be afraid to bring
up new ideas to a distribution with so much a standardized history.
For Fedora to remain cutting edge, it must be willing to change. I am
a KDE user, and I am because I find it easier, faster, lighter, more
stable, more friendly, more cusomizable, more elegant, and more
powerful than GNOME. Will this change? perhaps. I used to like GNOME
better, but that changed when Sawfish changed to Metacity. (around RHL
7.3-- 8.0 was metacity) Will requesting that Fedora become KDE based
instead of GNOME based be likely to make a major impact here? no. Is
it important that I request? yes. I do so, because it alerts the
developers to views of Feora Core's users. OpenSource must be about
Open Minds as well as free software. I am up to a lively discussion
about KDE vs. GNOME, and a friendly reminder that GNOME must remain
the focus of Fedora Core for now, but I certainly hope that I will not
get any responses that look down upon me for expressing my views.

You preferring KDE over Gnome is personal opinion. Fedora includes KDE
and Gnome. If a user thinks KDE is all those things you say it is, they
can easily switch to it, or not install Gnome at all. Selecting a
default WM though hardly makes a distribution "cutting-edge."
