Is KDE on Fedora really that bad?

I think that attitude will only hurt FC. Gnome plainly reeks, according
to my perspectives. 

It was borne from a bunch of Stallman style politics, with the Gnome
crowd being the most vicious I've seen in their attacks in online
forums. THAT turned me off more than anything. 

The KDE folks maintained their cool and remained polite. So, it was and
is the humanity of KDE that I appreciate, and shall never ever use Gnome
unless someone figures out how to imprint it onto toilet paper. That's
my two cents; Fedora, dump gnome and get with KDE for real if you guys
really want this Distro to get anyplace. Ric
