I was making generalizations of the 100's not 8 irc users I help/have helped. Just giving the general feel I see in irc, nothing more nothing less. I am well aware there are 1000's of users that don't use irc as well ;)

with the installed version of gnome.

I'm not sure you can take any anecdotal evidence, and make a generalization based on it. For instance, of the 8 people that I personally know that use Arch including myself, we all use KDE. That certainly does not mean I can generalize and say that everyone using Arch is using KDE.

There are lots of other explanations why more gnome users come to the irc channel for support, maybe gnome users need more tech support, maybe the structure of gnome packaging causes more setup problems, maybe gnome users are more likely to use irc.

There is just really no way to accurately determine which is more popular, other than to say a lot of people use one of them, and a lot of people use neither of them.
