GNOME vs KDE

I found myself doing the unthinkable I switched to using gnome. It started when i switched my desktop from Slackware 10.2 to Ubuntu. I was using KDE and didn't want to use a Ubuntu derivative so i decided to give gnome a chance. I was wowed in how simple and easy it is to use. KDE always seemed cluttered a bit to me. Now that Ubuntu is my permanent choice for distro and I am stuck with gnome I learned to appreciate it in what it really does. I probably will always like using gnome. I kinda wish that Pat would go back to including some variant pre-installed of gnome even if its dropline or other such pre-packaged installs of gnome.
