Especially if you don't look for evidence otherwise:
http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/1664
http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2004/10/konsole-vs-xterm-or-proof-that-kde-is.html

Of course that's just evidence from folks who hack on and use KDE, so their 
word, I'm sure, is unreliable. Better to take the word of some Slack-head who 
doesn't actually use KDE, I guess.
;)

KDE works for me and has apps I like (kontact, konqueror, amarok, kopete, 
konversation). To each his own. (damn minimalists...)
