I am not wanting a flame-war by what I am about to ask. I am asking for honest opinions, not a "Holy War" about desktops.
Do you, collectively, prefer KDE or Gnome? And why?
My Linux experience, since Red Hat 5.2, has been 100% CLI based. I have never even used the GUI. I am wanting to do a fresh install of Fedora on a system, but I only want to load one desktop interface.
Any non-flammatory experiences/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Fedora Core 1 already contains 3.1.4, doesn't it?
"3.1.93", I believe, could be more accurately
described as "3.2 release
candidate 1".

Just a heads up for the brave souls who are going to give this a shot, upgrading to 3.1.93 from the stock KDE breaks some stuff (not surprisingly).
I installed the packages on a basically clean setup of Core 1, and the menu entries got slightly screwed up, various KDE apps crash randomly, and for some reason any OpenGL-based program (tuxracer, celestia, etc) crash immediately. Additionally, the repository does not offer any yum/apt headers (as I write this) so you'll have to do some command-line RPM finagling for everything to work.
In spite of all that, I must say I'm quite impressed with the new version. Lots of little improvements to the UI as well as a slightly snappier responsiveness make it worth the hassles (at least for us bleeding-edge fetishists :)
