  I suspect he simply meant that Gnome 2 to KDE, while it has a smallish
learning curve, is easier than going to Gnome 3. (At least that was my
experience anyway)

  G-3 suffers the issue of functionality having been removed. Some of
that can be recovered by installing additional extensions which live
outside of gnome core.

  KDE is polished and works quite well and has most if not all of the
Gnomme 2 functionality in a stock install. So, yeh there is a learning
curve but its not too bad. I have seen many switch away from Gnome 3,
some to KDE and a few to the lighter DE's like xfce.
