Yes, of course it is just a front end for CUPS, but it is certainly a 
lot more straight forward for the non-guru to set up a printer with it 
than with localhost:631.  In that regard the Gnome designers deserve kudos.

I could "live" with Gnome, but I prefer KDE simply because I am used to 
it and can find my way around in it without having to consult a manual 
or tutorial every time I want to do something.

One app neither KDE nor Gnome can match is Compupic, for managing 
graphic files.  Unfortunately Compupic is incompatible with glibc 2.3.2 
and higher.
