Well, you see Gnome is using Guile for some stuff, which means that
obviously KDE can't use Guile  ...

Serously, there are some major political differences between the
KDE camp, and the Gnome camp.  Aligned with the latter camp is
Guile, FSF, Red Hat, Debian, and all other right-thinking people ...

Even though there are well-meaning, sincere, and competent people
on both sides, there are philosophical and personality issues (plus
a year or more of bitter arguments) that complicate any co-operation
between the two camps.  Maybe in a year, things will have calmed
down enough ...
