No, I caught the sarcasm from the beginning.  And it's almost like you wrote their Mission Statement for them. 

(Though FWIW I don't have much problem with mixing best of breed apps
if it means picking up a few dependencies, software is only a small
fraction of the total data I keep. This thing desktops environments
develop where they want to proliferate into an exclusive 'ecosystem'
isn't much in the interests of users. I happily used K3B for years
under Gnome before I switched to KDE.)

You're right, it's not a huge amount of data for the dependencies.  I just have this thing about Gnome apps in general.  They never seem quite as good as the KDE versions.  Though, the maintainers attitude also makes a big difference to me. I don't use apps from people who act like that.  (If that makes sense.)
