KDE and Gnome have very different design philosophies.  If Gnome's (as
Raul put it) "paternalistic" attitude turns you off, you're probably
better off sticking with KDE.

I'm not here to persuade people to switch between Linux distributions.
 I like Ubuntu, and I'm happy to go out there and promote it, but it's
all free software.  If you have a distro you like and it works for
you, then that's awesome.
