Well, if you're still using these things (I'm not knocking them, I still
use Pine at home and work), I don't think you have any room to comment on
Linux's readiness for the desktop.  There are many aspects of gnome that I 
don't like (ie., removing features to make it simple to use) but it's 
almost a necessary evil in order to gain ground in the desktop area.  Same 
goes for KDE.  But, if you're trying to sit a windows user down at a linux 
box, they're going to feel a whole lot more comfortable with KDE or Gnome 
and Evolution than fvwm and mutt or pine.
