Well I cannot speak about KDE from direct experience, but I can tell you
that for gnome, having to explain to a nontechnical user[0] who doesn't
even know what gnome is (except for that splash screen that comes up
when she logs in) why some things are on this set of menus, and some
other, seemingly pretty similar sort of things[1] are all the way over
here, in this other set of menus, can be is pretty frustrating and
embarrassing[2].
Putting the paraih apps in a submenu under the blessed gui consistent
appts[3] does seem like an improvement over how gome does it anyway.

heierarchy.
[3] I think that the general inconsistency of the web has made many users
notice minor gui inconsistencies less than we do, oddly.
