It's a question of what users expect. And GNOME is fulfilliing these
expectations, as what is on fd.o is just reflection of long lasting
users dream. I must agree, that many of these features there are
already in KDE for ages, but they, as standard were not agreed with
anyone, and fd.o tries to lead to such standarisation.
I think KDE should have much louder voice in fd.o, and we should
implement more features from it.
The way ppl see desktop enviroment nowdays, is of how many features
one expected in new version to be present is acctually implemented.
While GNOME now is implementing many of these, users expected, KDE is
not quite trying to keep the lead.
