I like GNOME better, but KDE is faster so I end up using KDE

XFCE isn`t bad either !

About XFCE, I find it fast, light, smooth, clean. That's why I love it. But it's clear KDE has more libs and functions.

Gnome first, but KDE is pretty good. I felt that I was just drowning in eye candy, though, when I ran Kubuntu for a while just to test it.

Linux? hm. the only penguin in my house is Roto-router (WRT54GS) so no X there.
BSD? Wehn I run BSD I am always in XFCE4. I do compile KDE-Lite though for Konsole (LOVE that!) and a few other K apps I like... and i run them in XFCE.

I use Gnome myself, but I don't mind KDE or XFCE or anything else.

For eye-candy I would have to go with Enlightenment 16 / 17. For usability KDE (but I prefer Gnome to KDE) for the most useful.... bash shell

xfce al the way, - for obvious reasons i guess, -
its lighter and faster than both kde and gnome, also it suits to slackwares
(i use a slack-based distro), minimalistic setup, but for sake of compatibilitie i do use the gt3 (gnome) lib for any ap that doesn't compile with a GTK+ gui,
btw openbox isn't bad either (if you want somethin even lighter than xfce).

i tried xpde once and it was pretty basic and might be ok for windows user to use because it is similar to it but for me gnome is better

KDE, because it feels like XP

oh and I also like Konqueror.

1. Gnome
2. Xfce
3. Windowmaker
Not keen on KDE, I just prefer simpler WMs.
