I don't use Linux much but I like KDE a lot.

[EchoNoise]

*sigh*... here we go again !!!

In order of preference:

GNOME > FluxBox > OpenBox > XFDE > KDE

[Scubar]

i personally like GNOME, IceWM and KDE.

[ZcWorld]

GNOME and KDE

[Camarade_Tux]

XFCE.

[Innocent Devil]

For best EyeCandy == KDE

For simplicity == IceWM,FluxBox

[XP_2600]

For me

Gnome looks best.

KDE function best.

[SiMoNsAyS]

gnome all the way

kde and xfce are not that bad

[xpmaniac4ever]

I like GNOME better, but KDE is faster so I end up using KDE XFCE isn`t bad either !

[Camarade_Tux]

About XFCE, I find it fast, light, smooth, clean. That's why I love it. But it's clear KDE has more libs and functions.

Gnome first, but KDE is pretty good. I felt that I was just drowning in eye candy, though, when I ran Kubuntu for a while just to test it.

Linux? hm. the only penguin in my house is Roto-router (WRT54GS) so no X there.

BSD? Wehn I run BSD I am always in XFCE4. I do compile KDE-Lite though for Konsole (LOVE that!) and a few other K apps I like... and i run them in XFCE.

[WBHoenig]

I use Gnome myself, but I don't mind KDE or XFCE or anything else.
