It seems unusual for Linus to get involved in a debate like this

Oh, no: he's mildly famous for popping up on mailing lists and emitting well-reasoned posts baked in high-temperature flame. He was doing it before the Linux kernel even existed.

His posts to the GCC list over the years have been memorable for a high heat to light ratio...

I entirely agree with your characterizations of KDE and GNOME; I avoided moving from GNOME 1 for as long as possible, then finally when it was too rotted to use I ate my dislike for moc and jumped to KDE, entirely because the permanently-active parts of GNOME 2, like the panel, couldn't come close to acting as I wished, or as they had acted in GNOME 1. I've never looked back.
