Personally, I prefer KDE... it just looks prettier, though I do seem to trade some of my desktop stability for the bling. Lately I have had to work on some limited hardware, and I found gnome to be very very functional, if not very simple.

Excellent.

<rubs hands in glee>

Actually, I'm a KDE man although both my laptop and desktop have gnome atm. Can't remember why I did that. I'll probably stick with gnome for the time being, until KDE 4 comes out.
 
KDE. I used to like XFCE too, but it's become too much like gnome (which is like a bad copy of OSX IMHO)
 
Been using KDE for years, last month started using Gnome and really enjoying it.
 
That said, part of the reason why I like KDE is because I absolutely loath the file manager in Gnome (nautilus, is it?). KDE4's new file manager, Dolphin, is just as bad. I hope they keep konqueror around.

I totally agree. Dolphin sucks balls. Konqueror for the win.

I'm KDE all the way, I just do not gel with having a taskbar on the top of my screen.

You can hide it - but it doesn't work as well as hiding the KDE taskbar.
 
When I used to use linux as my desktop I used XFCE and fluxbox the most. If I had to choose one of the full DEs though I always preferred KDE.

Yeah, that taskbar is a visual OSX wannabe, but it doesn't have the same function. For what it does they could have worked it into the bottom one. The way it is, it's just wasting space.
 
Out of the box, KDE just looks better. Haven't experimented with major visual changes tough.
 
Fluxbox + GKrellM + assorted dockapps that I stole from Window Maker :D.
(I used Window Maker for quite a few years on Slack and it was on the first FreeBSD install cd too.)
Pidgin, Skype, KNetworkManager etc. dock inside Fluxbox's toolbar quite nicely.

I use mc to move directories around or for quick navigation. pcmanfm is a lightweight file manager that is very similar to XFCE's Thunar.

I still have a screenie from another thread on UPSs and nut here:

Twin panel konqueror? Where can I find it?

I used to use dolphin, I like having the two panes, but I'm not especially sold on it.
 
KDE here.

Tried Ubuntu for a while, but went back to SuSE and KDE.

I'll use Midnight Commander in a CLI window... quick, fast, and does what I want to do :D
