I am aware of a rift between these two communities.  I rarely login to
KDE or GNOME, using XFce most of the time.  The only time I login to
one of the others is when I don't remember the command for a specific
app.  The look & feel has never been quite as important to me as it
seems to be to some.  I do hope the two communities will find a way to
work together, primarily because I think that's better than a war. 
Meanwhile, I still won't support proprietary software.

As for which toolkit is really the best is something I'll have to deal
with soon enough, especially given that I'm hoping to graduate
Ekklesia from a console app to a GUI app.  Of course, since we'll be
using the app on Windows (as well as GNU/Linux), it'll likely be TK,
GTK, or WxWindows.  I believe I would need a QT License for Windows,
which I can't afford.
