Personally, I prefer the KDE desktop...but I don't let that blind me from the fact that a lot of good software is written and compiled for use under Gtk/Gnome. I didn't install Gnome (manually selected to not install it). But, since I do realize that a lot of good software is written for it, I make use of the framework parts that allow me to use that software. *I* think it's short sighted to limit one's self to software that only runs on one "side" of the platform, and I don't get involved in the religious wars that occur with regard to the many available desktops. This platform is all about flexibility. My way of thinking is "why not take full advantage of that flexibility?" To that effect, I agree that adding Bluefish could and probably should be added to the distribution. I just don't agree that limiting one's self to only a set of apps built for a particular desktop is wise. It seems that that's the way people get stuck running only Windows. The preceding, of course, is *MY* opinion.
