I find both of them to be a bit too heavy for my liking, so I’ll let the proponents answer your question.

From my perspective, as someone who works almost exclusively with sub-1Ghz machines, both Gnome and KDE are less responsive than the alternatives. It’s a tradeoff, though: What I lose in system bulk I end up either handling manually (like automounting CDs or USB drives) or circumventing with an alternative application (like using Mirage over the Gimp).

It’s a matter of choice, from start to finish. But I think that’s the beauty of Linux in general. ;)

I am new to Linux. I am using both Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 and OpenSuse 10.2. I like the look and feel of Gnome much more than KDE. I haven’t used either enough to tell whether one has a better feature set than the other but from the comments I have read it seems that KDE is more powerful than Gnome. Is this true? It just looks so ugly and seems unfriendly to use.
