I started with Gnome because that's what RedHat 7.3 defaulted to.  I
looked at KDE but found it too garish, and I couldn't get used to
single-clicking where I had been accustomed to double-clicking.  

At the time, I was of course a novice, but I was already interested in
migrating to Linux, so perhaps I didn't count as a "real" novice.

The Artistic Director, though, not particularly computer-oriented at
all, and so a legitimate Linux novice, also found KDE garish, and is
happy with Gnome.

What makes a window manager seem "more like (MS) Windows" or "different
from (MS) Windows" may differ from person to person.
