The answer to the old Gnome vs KDE question is easy. Try them both.
The one that you like better is the better desktop environment, for you.

I can't say that I don't like KDE just because I prefer Gnome. If there
were no such thing as Gnome, I would most certainly be using, well,
XFCE, but KDE would certainly be a consideration.

Description of Gnome users is a bit on the rough side. When I
upgraded to my spiffy new computer that could handle all of the visual
effects, I turned them on. I must have played with them for almost a
half an hour before I shut them off and got back to using my computer as
a tool instead of a toy.
