Is KDE dead?
There's Sun, Novell (since they bought Ximian), RedHat, FSF?, and others supporting GNOME, with only SuSE, and a bunch of minor distributions (Mandrake isn't exactly a large distro), and SuSE probably dropping their KDE leaning since being bought out by Novell. What do you think? There's also more stuff going on under GNOME, like bounties (some are 1500$) which will encourage even more developers. And the big killer is commercial developers will not use QT, since it is GPLed, and why pay money (what's the price for commercial license, 400?, 1000?) when you can use GTK?
