That's the most blatant start of a flamewar I've seen...
Ok, let's sit here and ponder. People like KDE, people like GNOME, hell,
people like fluxbox and xfce. Now to put this in perspective, basically
there is no "right answer" to this question, and no matter how much someone
suggests, there never will be. I'm also curious as to how you plan to
consider people's opinions on 'popular' valid.
The question of which is better (the question you SHOULD be asking) comes down
to this:
1) Why do I need a WM/DE?
2) What do I do regularly that would make
my life easier?
3) How much customization am I looking for?
4) How well do applications I commonly use
integrate with it?
5) What do I think of the community behind it?
Now, these questions are only answerable by you, because.. they are
SUBJECTIVE. That's why flamewars come about, people try and answer
subjective questions, then it goes nowhere.
So before this goes any further, guys, think independently about what you need
from your DE/WM and make the world a better place.
