As weird as it sounds, I want it in -because- it is so d*mn big.
According to the Fedora ML usage stats, Evo holds the #1 spot - making
it reasonable to guess that many of them are KDE users.
Asking them to download 100s of MB during the installation is a mistake.
Since
that is what the default is, that is what they use. I'm on Fedora, I
never used GNOME because I didn't like it (but I tried it everytime). And I
am quite happy with what KDE has to offer. Make kontact the default, and
you'll have a plethora of kontact users.
Or better, make evolution an option, but don't put it in the default
settings. After all, I have to check everytime that mc should be put in, and
as much as I dislike that (the fact that mc is not default) I got used to it.
Also, perhaps the ones that want a KDE-only distro might not like the GNOME
apps after all?
