Well, I disagree (surprise!). I'm glad there is both GNOME and KDE; or rather, I suspect my preference[1] of the two would not meet your desires, given your example applications: I find KDE, and KDE apps in general, aesthetically unappealing. None the less, I use digikam, because it simply provides more of the features I want/need. (But if the f-spot people ever figures out how to write an import dialog, I'm may change...). And while there is certainly an memory incentive to stick with apps that use the same library as your desktop system, I know a lot of people who use at least a few apps from "the other system" whichever that might be.

[1] Actually, I'm using XFCE now, which is a lot snappier than GNOME on my hardware.
