What's the use of making so many distinctions? Why can't there be just 1 linux? Linux is always one, but DE and WMs are many. This is because we (FOSSians) believe that options are a form of freedom. 99% of people change their desktop background frequently. People do not like to stick with the same thing, or at least like to have some visual improvements and changes. All do not like the way GNOME works, all do not like the way KDE works. Thus users are always given the choices and freedom to use what they feel comfortable using. In the past one year, I had shifted between GNOME and KDE as my primary desktop 4 times. I like a few KDE apps which I use in GNOME and vice versa with the GNOME apps as well. What makes me keep going is this freedom to make my choices whenever I feel like. And there are nicer things in the Desktop world other than KDE, GNOME as well.
There is indeed a project which aims at integrating or at least making the hard work of different DEs into one.
