As a biased observer and gnucash user, I would agree that this is probably good
with some reservations from a user standpoint. Right now gnucash works with
both gnome and KDE. If gnucash developers become committed to gnome, does that
preclude running gnucash under KDE in the future? or would gnucash become a
gnome only app. Or are the KDE and gnome APIs becoming closer and better
coordinated so as to preclude gnome/KDE only apps. I may switch from KDE to
Gnome in the future or I may use both at different times, but as a user I
definitely do not want apps that work only on one or the other Right now I
think having both Gnome and KDE is a big win/win/win situation for Linux,
Gnome, KDE and all the users. This is especially so if Gnome and KDE APIs
continue being coordinated so that everybody can use one or the other or both.
Well, there are two levels on which I could answer your
question. First, using the GNOME APIs does not preclude an application
from running under a KDE desktop enviornment. Second, a project does
not need to commit to being "GNOME only" to be involved in the GNOME
Foundation. For example, Sawmill and Gtk+ both consider themselves to
have broader reach than just GNOME.

I've certainly had no trouble running pre 1.4 versions of gnucash under KDE,
though I started it from a shell instead of from an icon.
