It seems Fedora is going to backburner KDE by pushing it into Extras for FC6. This is being sold as a chance for KDE to flourish under non-Redhat control in Extras, but the fact is Gnome will be in Fedora "Core" and KDE won't.
I repeatedly try Gnome at intervals because I am sensitive to the signals coming out of RHAT that Gnome is the future for them. But every time it turns into a Gnome desktop full of KDE apps (kate, even konqueror for the split views) and I just shrug and go back to KDE.
Anyway I wanted to propose a possible reason why there is such a divide other than the history over QT. How many Gnome devs know C++ I wonder? C++ in the kernel keeps coming back and each time it seems the problem is the bulk of devs there don't know C++, are leery of being newbified by it and so reject it. I wonder if this is part of keeping the two sides so polarized.
