I've never been fond of KDE.  Reminded me too much of the old SCO ODT
desktop but it may have grown up some from when I tried it last.

I've pretty much given up on Gnome 3.x.  Looks ugly, they keep making it
harder and harder to find the apps you want, and it's a performance
death trap.

I pretty much use XFCE with the Enlightenment 16 (yeah, I'm a die hard)
window manager.
