I used to be a KDE fan, until I realized that almost all (Scribus
being the sole exception) of what I personally consider "best of
breed" apps are gtk+ based. At the time I switched to GNOME, I was
operating under limited memory and couldn't justify having both qt and
gtk+ libraries loaded and actively used so I switched. Now my machine
has plenty RAM and I still use GNOME for the same reasons. Besides,
KDE is no longer familiar to me.

In the end, use what works for you. GNOME works for me. Okay, I
actually prefer GNUstep Workspace, but just try and find native
apps...
