I would like to hear what are you using or what do you prefer?
Is this choice just about "what looks best to you" or anything else? Logicly thinking it doesnt have much to do with stability and similar... Or does it?
I prefer KDE because it looks nicer to me, my first linux was RedHat9 which i played a little with and it had KDE... My friend had Ubuntu which runs Gnome which i didn't like... I showed to him a screenshot of Kubuntu (KDE) and he installed it the minute he saw it...

A good tweaked gnome can look nice.
I just keep the standart gnome with not to mutch effects.
I want to save resources

On SuSe I prefer KDE, it looks nice. That is the main reason why I use it, but i have problems on X server, so I must fix this problem. But still like KDE

I'm using FVWM currently, and I'm pretty sure that I'll stick with it. I like KDE by design, but it's very resource-intensive. And writing KDE/Qt-programs is a mess. I've used XFCE, before reducing it to XFWM only. The time before XFCE I used Gnome 1.4 on Debian, before changing to Gentoo. It was pretty feasible, but I don't like Gnome 2 much. I went with KDE before using Gnome.

i prefer KDE, kde looks nicer then Gnome but im not using it becouse of that...
terminal looks nice whit #00ff00 and black bg

gnome. much simplier.

i'm not prefer both. Actually i use XFCE much, but when it comes into resource problem, i use fluxbox

I use KDE if I'm on a newer system with a good video card and monitor. When I'm on an older machine I usually fall back to XFCE or, in extreme cases, Blackbox or just a plain command line.

I use FVWM, but for my users I set up GNOME as default wm. It's much simpler than KDE. Of course, in KDE you can do more tuning, but most users don't need it. They want log in, read mail, write docs and so on. KDE toolbars too bloated.

I really like both GNOME and KDE as full desktop environments. When I'm feeling active-like, I prefer KDE because the glossiness of everything is very refreshing. Gnome, on the other hand is much more understated and elegant, and I definitely do like the default bar on top and on bottom.

Currently though, I like using CVS E17 a lot more. It is pretty, flexible, offers most everything I need, very resource-light, and extremely fast. It's also fun to play with new feature as they come up in CVS.

That's very rare. When I switched to FVWM it took me about two days to configure it. But it was worth doing. I'm still on FVWM, and I love it. =)

yeah, FVWM is a real hardcore wm LOL.... it's OpenBSD default wm, and it's the descendants of ol' TWM with a lot of improvement. CMIIW

I prefer gnome to KDE .. but usually i use flushbox or blackbox.

Greetings knedl.

I really prefer KDE over Gnome and Qt over Gtk. However I've setup a nice looking KDE desktop to relax with it or to make screenshots, but most of the time I use fluxbox or the CLI.
My first window manager was FVWM, then I switched to Windowmaker and finally fluxbox. KDE and Gnome were later.

Why?
