Hardly.  They made an "adequate" desktop.  As I mentioned, the QT-apps
I've used all seem rather clunky.  clunky == awkward.  Unpleasant to
use.

The gnome/gtk apps I've used are not _all_ that much better, but
generally do seem to be better.  

Clearly all this is rather a matter of opinion; my only intent in
posting was to provide a counter to your implication that KDE/qt was
somehow obviously superior in functionality/usability, and that people
only like Gnome/gtk for "political" reasons.  That's simply not true.
