Neither KDE people hate GNOME people nor viceversa. Time ago, I repeat in a conference the GNOME people need to jump on the KDE wagon, so the train will move to a single direction, and people does not approve this comment. More than on the license, QPL, there are a developer problem. Develop in C (Gtk, GNOME) is a lot more easy than develop in C++ (Qt, KDE) But, for the GUI, the C++ approach is a lot superior ... a lot. The problem is this. They start to develop on Gtk to create GNOME, in C for a license problem. Now, they said why I need to change? But they need to change, because it is supeiror.
