I love KDE, but as someone who exclusively uses KDE already I have little visibility into Gnome or any other alternatives really, and I'm a little surprised they aren't defaulting to Gnome since that seems to be the default choice for many distros. Besides my personal feelings that it's a bit ugly and very clunky to configure, anyone feel like ranting about the drawbacks of Gnome or other desktop environments so that I can feel educated and continue to justify their and my choice of KDE to myself? :)

Iirc, gnome also got a million from the Sovereign Tech Fund a while back (I think it was them + that amount of money, don't quote me on this).

Imo: both are good and deserve it. They sometimes have different ways of thinking and goals, but both are usible for everyone - even for non-techies.

While I'm a gnome fanboy, it's really cool to see financial support for good desktops!
