IMHO, KDE does not rise as yet. But then GTK s(t)uck, QT gain more corporate weight as Nokia switched from GTK, but not much weight from KDE as KDE isnt in any part of their Meego system, is it? Thats why they start plasma mobile thingy. KDE isnt even running on Win but many consumer Winapps use it. It is quite obvious GPL KDE has nothing to do with that. QT made it coz it is better than alternative on Windows.
