And you do use gnome. :)
But, my particular opinion as a KDE user:
I prefer the gnome look'n feel. really.
In all talks that I do I state that if KDE had the gnome designers, that
would do a killer Desktop Enviroment.

W, sorry for having a bad time with KDE, not all projects inside the KDE
umbrella are equal, and there's very good examples on that. Amarok was a
damn good project, but when the fighting started, I switched to Tomahawk /
Clementine.
