Spot on.  I have current versions of kde and gnome on my system, just in
case I find a need for them, but I almost never do.  icewm or xfce or
(xyz)box is all I really need in the way of a window manager; even fvwm
would do in a pinch.

Obviously.

But (imho) it is his very right to prefer something different than you 
and I do.

The amount of functionality (and luxuriosity) desired by user differs
widely and it is good that modern distributions offers such an extreme
wide spectrum of choices - so everybody seriously interested in Linux
can set up 'her' or 'his' very personal combination of tools and become
happy. :-)
