I've always preferred KDE to Gnome too.  Although IMO early versions
felt a bit crude / clunky, Gnome never seemed a better chioce for me.
But just when it got to a very mature level, and gave lots of options
and facility to customize it, they "dumbed it down" with a big trade
off in robustness.

I would compare it to New Coke vs. the traditional recipe.

Guess that I'll have to take a closer look at some of the alternatives
out there like XFCE, et al.
