KDE and GNOME aren't exactly there to look like the graphicalmousdriverfromredmond. They exist to make the lives of ordinary users easier. Of course some ideas are taken from other good GUI's like CDE or Mac's finder, but the good thing is that you can choose to use what you like. On a free OS you HAVE a choice of how your personal computer looks and works (if it doesn't I can blame myself for beeing too stupid to make it work ;-). My favourites are gnumeric, kpilot and other cool KDE/Gnome stuff on top of my pretty enlightenment desktop. Thanks to all those developers who spent many hours in developing these fine programs!!!
