The KDE project saw the writing on the wall. They saw that they had reached a certain limit when it came to what could be done with the KDE 3.x series - they named it the "big friggin' wall", and decided that in order to get over that wall, incremental updates wouldn't do - they needed massive changes, a big jump, and they went for it. It's been a rough road, but it seems as if KDE 4.1 is showing signs of the vision becoming a reality. And it now seems as if several people within the GNOME community are seeing the writing on the wall too: GNOME 2.x has reached its goal - now what?

Well to be fair, most people who bought an iPhone did so for the features, as well as its looks. What they bought was some of the best web browsing, voice mail and media playback you could get on a cell phone all wrapped in a very sexy easy to use package. Had apple just had the features or just the sexy package they wouldn't have sold anywhere near as well as they did.
People may come for the eye candy, but they stay for the features.
