Personally I prefer GNOME to KDE because, well, when I used KDE (long, 
long ago -- as far as a person of my age can say that, anyway, KDE2 
wasn't out then), it was just ugly and didn't 'feel well' to me. So I 
switched to GNOME and have used it ever since. However, when I saw KDE2 
I was surprised: It feels nearly identically to GNOME but (IMO) the 
themes look way better. I am, of course, very optimistic about GNOME2 in 
concerning this (and about KDE3, too). You'll just have to try both. 
Why's there a problem having both installed and switching between them?
