That's sadly true, however, apart from the rough transition from kde3 to 
kde4 (which still needs some optimization), it seems to me that each new 
release adds functionality with lower (or at the same level) system 
requirements, so it's not that bad.
Besides, nobody forces you to use gnome/kde: I have deployed a couple of 
really low end machines (they've more or less the power of a 486, but 
they're really nice since they're the same size as a vesa mount, so you 
can fit them with the lcd) with puppy linux and no window manager at all 
(they only run my application).
