Hmm. KDE and GNOME? This particular argument is hypocritical - the
same thing is presented as "having a choice" when discussed in context
of Free Software.

To implement a particular feature, KDE or GNOME can freely borrow from each
other. Please consider the components - a nice function or a super designed
class. You have as much choice as you want, but not spending time on what is
already thought out.
Yes, having a choice is important. Closed source model failed in that
important aspect in case of desktop operating systems :-)
