I don't know whether Fedora is Gnome-based system supporting also KDE,
as you say
My experience (but not Anne's) is I am using Gnome, and the users I
know are running their systems on Gnome.
We all didn't give  a try to KDE mainly because standard graphic
installation (in particular for newcomers) seems to be suggesting
Gnome.
And Gnome seems to be satisfactory.

My two (and last) cents.....
