Redhat and Debian use Gnome for a number of reasons most of which have nothing to do with KDE itself.

As you may know KDE using QT for its interface, QT up until recent time had a non-gpl license and although it was free to use for *NIX systems it had special conditions for other OSes. Redhat decided to stay closer to GPL hence their usage of Gnome.

Altimately KDE is a much more robust windowing enviroment then Gnome as it offers greater speeder, cleaner interface and more features not to mention looking a hell lot nicer then Gnome does.
Despite all that I still Gnome staying with us for a while since it is the baby of GNU/FSF and they seem to pretty adamantant on using it and seem to have a vendeta against the KDE project...
