Lol yeah that sounds about right.

They both have their strong points IMO.  I was a GNOME user for a long time
and later switched to KDE.
GNOME has a simplicity thing about it that makes it easier to use sometimes.
 But if you're a die-hard GNOME user
and then switch to KDE and really give it a chance, I think you'll find that
KDE has a lot of nice features that GNOME just
doesn't have.  And I don't mean just eye-candy stuff (although KDE's menus,
etc. are easier on the eyes and look more modern).

Like for example, if you do any programming, and you like to use a GUI text
editor sometimes,
compare the features of Gedit to Kate...
