The rumors from people who've them all is that KDE is visually a
lot like Win XP, and that GNOME is visually in the same "family"
as OS X.
Many complain that GNOME is dumbed down, and not configurable
enough. I only entered that camp when I discovered that menu items
don't have Properties anymore. Otherwise, I'm not into constant
fiddling. But that's just me.
And yes, GNOME Terminal is an outrageous pig. So I use rxvt. Nice
and small and does what's needed.
