I used KDE as my primary desktop from 1996 through 2006, when I installed the GNOME version of Ubuntu and found that I liked it better than the KDE desktop I'd faced every morning for so many years.

Does this mean GNOME is now a better desktop than KDE, or just that I have become so accustomed to GNOME that it's hard for me to give it up?

I've done this same switch a few times
... but I keep coming back to GNOME. It's a shame because there are some really cool things in KDE but every time I try to switch I find a few things that just don't sit right with me and I end up going back. I'll try again soon.

Kubuntu vs. Ubuntu
This is really just a comparison of Ubuntu and Kubuntu. All the problems he has with KDE are distro related things.
