Yes an _alternative_!!! Not the replacement!!!

Funnily enough, influential people seem to think that there can only be one desktop for linux (eg Miguel de Icaza et al) This eliminates the biggest advantage of Linux: CHOICE!!. With respect to this "crippling" of KDE where is the choice if you remove all the advatages and niceties of one alternative?

Personally I don't like either Gnome or KDE. I prefer Enlightenment. But that doesn't mean I think KDE or Gnome should go away!

Isn't it funny, it seems people think choice is important only if you want to choose something else
