How have they "crippled" their KDE offerings?

Since KDE/Qt moved to a Free license, that is.

Your choice of words implies deliberate "let's make it suck" action,
while the reality is more along the lines of "we'll spend more time on
Gnome as that's more important to us"

All of this hooplah is over a set of *themes*.  If you don't like 'em,
it's perfectly straightforward to revert to the "classic" KDE or Gnome
look and feel.  RedHat isn't aiming for the power user, they're aiming
for the corporate desktop and cube drones that don't have an original
thought in their heads.
