Yep, I've read a couple of these.  Register has one that is downright
silly.
 
"Applications are applications," Gettys said. "I'm perfectly happy to
use good applications no matter whether they're GNOME or KDE. What
ultimately matters are applications for people to use. I see no reason
for GNOME to build a replacement for a KDE application or vice versa if
there are good applications available." 

I'm glad the guy from HP said this, and not the RedHat guy.  Because it
makes it pretty clear he doesn't have any idea what the point of a
desktop environment is.  People don't want to "use" application that
don't interoperate.  Skinning them to look the same is nice, but the
only person it will fool is the grandmother mentioned in the article.
