That mistake is more accurate than you know.  most of the people working
on GNOME now would not be there if KDE did not exist.  Most of the
people
working on KDE would not be at GNOME if GTK was the only game in town.
Therefore GNOME has gained from the existence of KDE just as how iNTEL
is better off because of AMD and Bell is more prosperous after the 
"big split"
