I think you are wrong.
I don't see comments with pro kde and contra gnome statements.

The comments are about softwarepatents, and this is a big problem and Nokia is one of the big softwarepatent-supporter in Europe.

It's nice if they use gnome, gtk+ and give us some money. But just because they give us some money and uses some of our software we shouldn't close our eyes.

Most Gnome users don't hang out on gnomedesktop.org, they hang out in distro forums. Check out www.ubuntuforums.org, and say again that there's no Gnome community.

But there's some truth to what you say none the less... The poor state of www.gnome.org - from the view of newcomers, leads to under exposure of footnotes if you ask me.
