Kde fails IMHO in terms of usability.Kde is for people who are not having any jobs,just want to tinker the useless "extra" configurations!
While Gnome lets u work on the PC without wasting time for those "extra" crap :evil:
Regarding Eyecandy:
By default Kde wins in eye candy dept.it is a direct rip-off of windows taskbar which is Kde's kicker.windows users finds home with kde.but the problem is,we are using GNU/Linux and NOT windows!so n00b linux users may be comfortable looking at the eyecandy and kicker.but..when it comes to usability,kde fails(kde3 esp).
Kde4 is really a feast of eye-candy!I tried the livecd and dont know how much memory does it eats,but for sure more time than kde3.x!also dolphin FM(nautilus lookalike!) looks promising!i hates this IE+win explorer like konqueror browser which also serves as FM with lots of glitches.so,dolphin fills the void!.
Still after Kde4 also,I and many feels better in Gnome!nautilus aint annoying as it is used to back in 2.4 versions!from Gnome-2.12 onwards, Gnome is slowly growing without much noises as kdeboys make!
Gnome DE and GTK2+ is the option for me!

LOL, seems that every time KDE is mentioned you copy and paste the same thing over and over again (I still remember your post in last year LinuxQuestions.org members choice DE of the year, ubuntuforum, etc etc)
I still choose KDE after more than 6 years :D I'm a programmer as well, and I prefer KDE/Qt over Gnome/GTK+ as I'm not smart enough to understand all the complicated things in Gnome/GTK+. I have a friend who was assigned a project to do some programming for Evolution with Bonobo, I recalled that he had severe headache understanding all the GNOME/GTK+ stuffs plus Bonobo LOL...
I also like KDE because of its integration, you can open .pdf, .ps, .dvi, .doc, .xls, .odt, in konqueror (example use case: you search document in Google and open it in new Konqueror tab and few more seconds the document will be ready in another tab). Can you imagine opening a .doc using OpenOffice.org embedded in Firefox in Linux? It'd be double memory hog for my poor tiny little laptop (even though I think it is not possible to do so)
I have nothing against GNOME, in fact sometimes I start GNOME as well. So please stop trolling ;)
