I am not forced to use the GUI.  But if a distribution includes both GNOME
and KDE, it means there is more testing, which means longer release cycle.
It also increases the number of CD's to store everything.  Well, this last
part is not such a big deal.

There is enough developers to go around, so there is nothing wasted.  But
if you look at all the new projects, they are all either GNOME based, or
KDE based.  Whatever happened to console apps or curses?  I still use PINE
to read email.  It's only a matter of time before even this application
disappears (i.e. the maintainer stops maintaining it).
