    Gnome and KDE

    Well.. I know that everything depends from the packages installed etc... but aren't KDE and Gnome only desktop environments? So why there are some programs for Gnome and others for KDE?

    Because KDE and Gnome include a LOT more than just the desktop. They each have their own office suites, and many other things. They were each designed to be a "total solution" so that users wouldn't need a lot of other stuff. This is very different from some other desktops, like XFCE, that try to simply provide a desktop.

    One of my favorite code editors in Linux is Kate, which is part of KDE. Gnome includes the Gnumeric spreadsheet program. I could go on

    I like vim and emacs. Never tried Kate though but I may. Does vim have a GUI version in gnome or KDE?
