GNOME has improved quite a bit. KDE is more windows-like so it more comfortable for windows user but GNOME has its appeal.

Both KDE and GNOME are well, dull, especially, when compared to the eye candy of XP and WindowBlinds for MS Windows. I guess it comes from the fact there are few graphic designers involved the creation of the distros and managers. As to themes KDE is way ahead of GNOME in this department. So my advice would be tinker... with KDE, remember to save your setup in the themes section because it can be a bitch to get it back if you change or loose those settings. Gabriel
