There is a feature that KDE has and GNOME does not in the current
development mix. KDE has menus and GNOME does not.
This gave me a chance to use KDE a bit until the menus get fixed with GNOME.
I like having both window-managers around and use software that is
developed within both managers.
KDE applications/file managers seem to work better connecting to windows
than nautilus and GNOME tools do.
I like GNOME over KDE because it seems less cartoonish and less windows
cloned than KDE used to seem to me. KDE seems to be getting better
polished and I like having both available for picking whichever I'd like
to use at the time.
I think both KDE and GNOME are getting attention from the developers and
both are improving.
I would like to see bluecurve becoming an option or a tertiary windows
manager that works well with both KDE and GNOME, instead of a merging of
the two managers into one interface.
