I think an interesting question is what is more popular, VIM or KDE?  I
know at least in my circle collegues, most of them can give a crap about
how pretty their desktop looks, but they ALL use vim.  I don't mean to
over simplify what KDE is, but there is still a significant group that
prefers not having the integration that you speak of.  So, to your point
that there are people that want this integration, thare are also plenty of
people that do not want it.
