I can't believe the timing of your question.

I've been a Kubuntu user for the pass 2 years and I've just switched
to Ubuntu. Why? Well, I'm a windows guy, so I liked the KDE interface
better than Gnome. Yes, it was a matter of taste. So, what happened? A
frustration with the fact that Ubuntu is a more recognized distro than
Kubuntu. So, wherever you go for third party software, Ubuntu is the
one more or only likely to be supported. Now you can install Gnome
software on KDE but sometimes they don't work as expected or at all.

What I want from my O.S. is as little hassle as possible. I'm even
avoiding 8.10 until January at least, give them time to work out the
bugs. When Kubuntu becomes as well supported as Ubuntu, I will eagerly
and quickly change back. But right now I'm giving Gnome a chance to
grow on me and I'm finding it to be not bad at all.
