I use KDE because I thought it looked nicer when I first started using linux and would switch between gnome and kde... finally settling on kde. I kept using KDE and then started switching distros finally settling on *buntu. I guess any choice people make is going to be perfect for them because its all about choice. For a newbie I would choose a popular environment only because there is more support for it that is easily obtainable.

Has anybody had a look at xwinman.org: http://xwinman.org/vote.php?

I really like this site and it helped me to choose which window maker to try. It gives many useful information.

Cheers!

Wow... I'm amazed how less people use Fvwm...

I dunno, I like Fvwm the best. I personally would never go for KDE/GNOME because its size.
