kde is "creme de la creme" (IMHO)
though I'm beginning to like enlightenment (which I use on my freebsd
machine), kde is amazing with its utilities (I cannot live without kdict,
kcalc is as easy to use as the calc from windows and kmail is the state of
the art in mail-client business [again, IMHO])
and it's very customizable
gnome is ok with me - though I used it to few times to make an opinion; I
began with kde and I stick to it
HTH,
petre
