KDE for me too. Gnome is a bit ugly.

I voted for GNOME, and I must admit that it's because I've never tried KDE. I've seen many screenshots though, and also used many KDE-ish applications like Amarok; and all of them look bad to me. I can't say whether it's possible to make them look nice through configuration, but I won't spend time on that as GNOME fits my needs.

I'm kind of torn between the two (and I see no option to vote for that). GNOME is fast and slick although it looks horrible (and KDE apps in GNOME look bad, v0id) while KDE is pretty and sharp but has a bit more overhead. I switch between the two constantly. I'll vote for KDE though but it could change at any moment.

Yup, I've always preferred KDE but KDE 4 was so buggy on openSuSe that I quit using it. After hearing that XaNaX went to KDE 3.5 and it worked fined I switched back .

KDE 4 is junk. I tried to use it. I can't remember what they call their new system, Plasma, or something like that. It feels like it is running Java. Slow and laggy.

On the other hand KDE 3.5 is still going strong and works well. I see that only one person has voted for gnome so far. I guess it isn't very popular.

I voted KDE, I think it's more customizable and easy to use.
