He means, why are you using GNOME if you want a compact system. Neither
KDE nor GNOME are compact.

There is one, but it has more to do with tradition, licensing, or who
runs the project than anything else. There are popular distros using
KDE as default, and there are ones that use GNOME. And then there
are some that use XFCE or something different. And then there are
distros that don't have a default, like Gentoo for example. So that's a
non-argument. ;-)
