Although I expressed my opinion about how things are going right now. I know that your last statement has very strong sentiments, but the tide is turning and there are many users here that prefer KDE and would not install Gnome for anything in the world. I cannot show by statistics that they are equal and receive equal treatment, but I know that both are being worked on hard by the developers and that yes Fedora is a Gnome-oriented distro that also supports KDE. You should add that XFCE is also joining the mix, thanks to Rahul who also produced a installable Xfce livecd and shared it with us so that users with slow machines could still install Fedora but not with KDE or Gnome. Throught these efforts Fedora is becoming better and better.
