I don't mean to insinuate that you run E because of old hardware but 
it's why I do on a few machines. It really does run a lot better esp on 
machines w/o huge horsepower. BlackE looks pretty nice actually. I still 
do like KDE for the shiny factor and it does what I want too. My 
philosophy is that if I'm looking for something other than console then 
I'll go as pretty as I can and still have it be useable. To me gnome 
goes too far away from useable but KDE still makes the cut. Everyone has 
a different opinion on where that cut lies.

So, like you said, free software has that as a big bonus: you use what 
you like and nobody can really question that.
