In my subjective opinion, Gnome 2.14 runs much faster and with less resources than KDE 5.4.

Nice and small and does what's needed.
I definitely agree with that. Just my personal opinion is that I like Gtk better than Qt if only for visual appearance. It's also easier to theme which is why there are many more Gtk themes. I like Epiphany much better than Konqueror for web browsing but for file management I prefer Konqueror over Nautilus.
The thing about KDE that I've never been a big fan of is their DCOP system. It takes time to get those processes started. That's not such a big deal if you use KDE as your environment because that's loaded once on startup. But if you use Gnome and want to run a KDE application you have to wait for DCOP which annoys me.
