I am certainly allowed to express my impressions.   This isn't something
anybody can produce evidence about but I do believe it is a very
reasonable statement.

I disagree.   It is clear to me that GNOME and KDE don't have the same
focus and won't have feature parity.  KDE is always going to be far more
tweaker friendly than GNOME is by default.  If you prefer approach over
another,  just use the one you prefer.   It is a signal of excellence to
recognize that are genuine differences in what we prefer as opposed to
trying to push a desktop environment into a very different direction
from where it is headed. 

As far as focus of test list is concerned,  GNOME UI design which
happens to the topic of discussions in this thread isn't that useful to
this list as much as feedback on specific bugs.    If you provide a
feedback along the lines of I really don't like the KDE or GNOME UI,  it
is a actionable item for the this list.
