"KDE 4 is coming. It's starting to look and behave in a mature enough manner to use it on a normal desktop. This article is a little introduction as to what you should expect from the brand new KDE that is due out later this year." Lots of screenshots too.

wow sedetroll, even in KDE topics you can't avoid to talk about GNOME.
Looks like you are not complete w/o GNOME.
Sweetheart - go back and have a look at where Gnome was brought up in this thread ;-). Whatever, I'll take that to mean that you are incapable of discussing what you're trolling about. You don't like it? Touch luck.
This thread started off with someone talking about KDE, and talking about its supposed complexity as a reason why some distros make it their default. Someone else weighed and told as that the usual troll reason of licensing had been used in the past, and then someone else weighed in to tell us that licensing isn't the issue now, and talked about Gnome and how supposedly Gnome has this miraculous six month release cycle, that KDE doesn't, that makes everything perfect.

Um, no. I suggest you actuallu take the time to read up on why gnome is used in Fedora and Ubuntu and you will see that it has very little to do with the widgeting system used and more to do with the fact that gnome has a pretty consistent time table which KDE does not.
Really, because Gnome hasn't always had the release mechanism it has now, and the toolkit license has been readily used as an argument in the past?
Distro makers are not"naive" they just want a consistent release with incremental changes instead of a huge shift in architecture which KDE seems to do with each major releae.
It's just another in a long line of alternative arguments. That wasn't the argument people were using when Gnome 2 happened.
