You do agree, i (and almost all KDE developers) don't from the very simple
reason -  people are not starting to use Linux as their first OS, they are
coming from Windows world and most of them simply don't  want to learn
everything from scratch - and thats why there's KDE (and there's GNOME - a
thing which if Mr. RMS would have read my private email to him, wouldn't
exist). Most people I know, don't  want to learn everything from scratch.
