Still, most of the things detailed there are already in KDE:

* easily edit file associations (no more confusing file types capplet)
* lengthy transfers now give a time to completion
* FTP authentication (and new, improved FTP module)
* browse network services via Rendezvous (now called OpenTalk) => KDE
doesn't have AFAIK, rendezvous but LISA (AKA lan://) does nicely.
* now with wireless support (kwifimanager)
* Gconf editor: now with searchability => Curious, I've sometimes read
Gnome users laughing about KControl because it has a "search" capability.
* improved cd burning interface => and K3b still rocks :)
* keyring manager displaying the default key (Kgpg)
etc

There are others thing that seem to be nice and KDE doesn't have:

* Gnome system tools
* a selection of tools for GNOME Nettool (but there is a similar KDE
program on the way)
