    The biggest thing for me with these two which makes KDE the better DE is that with Gnome I have to change the way I work, with KDE I change it to the way I work. That’s what it all boils down to for me.

      You just described my exact situation. I went back to plasma after using GNOME for 3 weeks.

      The way you work might not be the best way to work. That’s kind of the realization I had to have to use GNOME - now using anything else feels like a chore.

        Now if we could just find The Best Way To Work Bible (King James Version of course) we could then be told what the best way to work is.

        The way you work is largely a personal choice defined by personal preference. You may have found a better way to work, but I’m quite satisfied with the way I work.

          Just wanted to agree and add that it’s not my DE’s job to tell me the best way to work. That’s why I use KDE even though I like some things about the GNOME environment. Let me get there in my own time, let me set the things up how I want. My work isn’t your work, and your workflow shouldn’t be forced onto mine.

          GNOME devs care about their vision, KDE devs care about their users. This has been plain since the early days of GNOME 3.

            This is so true, even if some people don’t want to recognize it. GNOME and their whole design walled garden, also those “dOnT tHemE oUr aPps” fellas. Jesus, isn’t that the point of linux? Do whatever the f I want with my OS?

          Given how much Apple users love the products, I don’t have a big problem with certain parts of the design. My nitpicks are mostly about the walled gardens and proprietary-ness. The seamlessness and the efficiency/functionality of their products deserve admiration (when not combined with corporate greed, of course).
