For people who already tried both, what's the reason you're sticking with GNOME or KDE as your desktop environment?

I like Gnome because it doesn't have a Desktop that I can crowd with Icons and random files. The few times I tried KDE I just didn't really jive with it because the text and icons were super small by default and the whole handling was just..idk, too click-y? Yeah, it can all be adjusted and stuff, but default Gnome is just closer to my preferences than default KDE.

neither do I, and I use kde. You don't want a desktop? You can turn it off. I did. Just like I used to do on windows
