"I wish to know who's still using KDE, for example."

Well, I still use KDE. And I don't think I'm alone. You can get some feeling for the relative use of kde and gnome in Debian using popcon (http://popcon.debian.org). Of course it depends on the particular packages you choose, but comparing evince and okular, for instance, shows that kde is running at about 25% of gnome, which I don't think is too shabby for the non-standard desktop.

Popcon just measures installed packages. I have KDE packages installed on all my desktops, but I really use it only on one computer.

Sure, popcon is imperfect, but I was simply interested in finding some numbers. I use KDE yet have most of gnome installed... And I suppose that reflects a situation where many people use some applications from the other DE. However, Debian no longer installs both DE by default (gnome is the default), so users would have to take some additional step to install kde.

Actually, popcon uses atime to find packages that have been used recently (the 'vote' field).

I use KDE. And I like KDE 4 better then KDE 3, and more and more with each release. A good friend likes Unity and another sticks with FVWM. So to each his own. That's a good portion of the point of FOSS. Not the egoism or bullyism this thread is starting to have...

I use KDE4 at home and I somewhat really like it. At work, there are 2 KDE4 desktop (not mine, I need Win7 for a bunch of tools...) one Awesome, and one E17.

Mostly, KDE4 is better for me than most off the other desktops, but I would like more keyboard navigation like in Awesome :-)
