Gnome

simplicity

Clean, easy, fast enough, doesn’t get in the way. Installed by default on many distro’s. I hate the gazillion options KDE has. I don’t use that many apps and hate widgets. So, I don’t want that stuff installed by default. Gnome isn’t trying to be a copy of Windows. If you just want to get your job done, use Gnome.

Mimics less of M$ Windoze; looks nices; nice addons WMs; simplicity; cleaner (less is more)

Gnome has been giving me better service. When I’ve tried KDE I only got more problems. I do run KDE apps on Gnome.
Simple, easy to customize and straightforward. KDE is too complicated.
