"Despite the head start that KDE enjoyed, the large number of KDE users and developers, and Linus Torvalds personally endorsing KDE, GNOME has won the desktop environment battle. The final victory came with the third piece of a corporate trifecta, giving GNOME the official nod from Red Hat, Sun Microsystems, and finally Novell. The question is, will the triumph of GNOME lead to the rise or downfall of the Linux desktop?" Run Forrest! Run!

I'm not sure I'd even call them the distros of choice, just a couple of the larger commercial distros. Gentoo is a dsitro of choice for lots of people and is DE neutral for example. Linspire is a commercial distro wich has a KDE DE and has had some success, kubuntu shares equal billing with ubuntu with reguards to commercial support also.
