The KDE solution to all of life's problems: Give users an option!
And a very good solution it is, too. Much better than the GNOME solution which is "Don't give users any options."

I would say neither is entirely true and neither is always give a good thing to do. Sometimes pushing the choice to end users is absolutely the wrong thing and I think KDE does that way too often and GNOME has gone the other direction too much as well although compared to prior versions within the major release, there has been some course corrections. Personally, I would love to see more focus on sharing interfaces and low level implementations such as standardizing on default ordering of apps in a cross desktop way
