I felt then and now that the default KDE desktop looked and felt like
a GNOME knock-off. It has also been my experience that most do assume
that you have GNOME installed. I'll happily try KDE again when F9 hits
final release, I hope to be proven wrong, I don't expect it will all
work flawlessly, it is as many have said a major revision, but KDE
needs its own personality, I didn't feel that KDE distinguished itself
from GNOME very well when i first tried it on Fedora 7. If i'm in the
minority with that opinion, so be it. I appreciate all the hard work
that goes into Fedora, hopefully nobody takes my comments to
personally. No one is obliged to prove anything to anyone. I still
think Fedora blows the doors off all the other Linux distributions,
I've tried most of them.
You observation seems incorrect to me. Atleast from Fedora Core 5
onwards and even more from Fedora 7 onwards, KDE look and feel is pretty
much the same as upstream in Fedora. So I have no idea what you mean by
a "knock-off".

Other than the wallpaper, everything else is different. Just for
comparison, Fedora 9 beta screenshots
