Well until then maybe GNOME 3 has evolved into a more usable state.
That said, I haven´t used it. I am now going with KDE 4.7.2 packages from
http://qt-kde.debian.net and thats awesome. The Debian Qt/KDE team does
not KDEPIM 2 for now, but I understand the reasoning for it. It seems to
have a lot of problems at the moment. Hopefully thats one of the last
really huge migrations in KDE world for a time. ;)
