Q: Why does Kubuntu exist?

Today I found this article, where they compared KDE distro's with eachother.

"Our verdict: A solid desktop, brilliant packages and a good stream of 
updates help make Kubuntu a serious contender. 8/10."


The reason why Kubuntu exists is already stated IMO, to bring the KDE 
desktop to Ubuntu. Without a KDE desktop package I think I would not be 
running Ubuntu but another distribution. Kubuntu is here to give users 
the choice to install/use KDE for their desktop.

Cheers,
