IMO.

t is the users of KDE that are entwined with K<some_name> applications. :-)

That is not the case with Gnome users. When Fedora 'broke'? the Gnome
Desktop in Fedora 15/Rawhide I switched to XFCE. I still use the same
major applications. The same Fedora GUI configuration applications. The
only 'new things' <gasp> that I had to get used to was a slightly
different looking terminal window, a slightly different looking file
manger, and a slightly different looking desktop. That took about 10
minutes.
