Well, it's "being realistic" in the sense "you can't rewrite a entire desktop
software in two days". Gnome and KDE have been working for _years_ and they're
very ahead of anything else you can find in the OSS world (GPL or BSD).

Nothing stops you writing a different desktop platform; in the same way
nobody stops you rewriting gcc. (But guess why nobody is rewriting gcc)
