Years ago, I knew I'd probably have to decide on either Gnome or KDE, so 
I examined both of their websites.  Gnome's was full of details about 
what they were doing, what improvements they'd recently made and where 
they were heading.  KDE's was nothing but advocacy.  I sent their 
webmaster a polite email, pointing this out and asking for reasons, 
other than advocacy, to try KDE.  What I got in reply was more advocacy 
without any attempt to tell me *why* KDE was so good or why I'd like it. 
  I went with Gnome and, until recently, never looked back.  I've seen 
KDE in action a few times on LiveCDs.  I didn't like the default look 
and feel and never felt comfortable enough with it to try to customize it.
