Having been in both camps at various points, I think I can safely say
it's not always about religion.  Both camps have done things to piss
off their user communities in the past...  In both cases it may be 
that the distributions adopted software that was not ready for prime
time, but an argument could as easily be made that the dev teams
shouldn't have released it as stable software if that were true.

In the past the Gnome desktop has been dumbed down too...  I find
myself missing FVWM more and more these days, but in the end I don't
care as much about this stuff as I used to -- I mostly just want to
get my work done.  Gnome still seems faster and less resource
intensive than KDE to me (albeit without having done any real
analysis), so I stick with that.
