KDE and Gnome are far from equal IMO. One is not necessarily better
though : depends what you want. Since the "desktop" is the GUI to the
tools you will use to do a productive job then then things are very
different as are the installed applications.

On my machine KDE was unstable unfortunately which is unfortunate
because I prefer KDE over Gnome from what Ive seen as a general
rule. But I put that down to the ATI video driver since Ive heard they
are not too hot.
