KDE is a part of Fedora, however the overwhelming evidence is that Fedora focuses on Gnome and GTK stacks. Almost all the Fedora upstream software that is graphical is built on gnome/gtk. It is the most integrated experience you can get. Using KDE is a less integrated less polished experience, and thus it is not our best foot forward. > The Desktop environment that Fedora wants to put forward as the > > > default, the best foot forward. > > No. It's the desktop environment the GNOME team should be putting it's > best foot forward.

Except it's not the "GNOME" team. It's the Desktop team. The Desktop team is pushing a highly polished and integrated desktop, which currently happens to be around the GNOME desktop environment. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
