I haven't tested this yet, but I suspect it is possible to "nuke" your font settings in GNOME, without being able to revert, whereas both KDE and The Other OS will allow you to just hit ESC to revert. And of all the complaints I have heard about that OS that rules 95 of the desktop, I am quite sure I have never heard the one that goes "I just hate that it never does anything potentially dangerous without confirmation".
