You do agree, i (and almost all KDE developers) don't from the very simple1) Learn everything from scratch? You are making assumptions here, which don't have to be true. Take OSX for example (yes, I keep going back to that one...) It is very different from Windows, and yet you don't need to learn everything from scratch when starting to work with it.
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.
2) At any case, when moving to Linux from Windows, you _already_ need to learn things from scratch- as talked about in the earlier thread here. The file system is completely different (with different concepts then Windows), installation/ uninstallation of software is different, computer management is different. Frankly, I find the "windows'ish" of Linux more confusing then helping- it tends to make me incorrectly bring over windows concepts (after all, the UI is the same) which are totally irrelevent and even wrong.
p.s.
I prefer GNOME over KDE- it has much less of the windows chunkiness that KDE has.
