''Fedora KDE users, why do you use KDE ?

	I like eye-candy desktops
	I've never used another Desktop Environments before
	I'm just trying KDE
	Someone advised me to.
	I don't know''

What a strange set of reply options!  I doubt you will find anything 
useful from asking that question with only those responses possible.

(I should add gnome-window-decorator to the first poll too, since that 
is what you get by default with compiz enabled in KDE AIUI.)

I keep being driven back to KDE because I can't seem to get Gnome to 
satisfy my expectations, eg, Konqueror vs Nautilus Konqueror is for me 
much more powerful and capable (eg, multiple panes).  Other people seem 
to use Gnome fine, I can't say it is rubbish, only for me that I can use 
KDE more effectively.  Other people have said that Konqueror pleases 
people coming from Windows more, I can see that point too.  How about 
adding:

  - I can't get on with Gnome
  - KDE provides more options and applets
  - I find myself choosing k* apps (kate, kwrite), might as well use the 
desktop environment
  - ioslaves like fish:// rock
  - Konqueror beats out Nautilus
