For people who already tried both, what's the reason you're sticking with GNOME or KDE as your desktop environment?

I've been using KDE for about a decade now. It's polished, and works well. Plus, it's also highly customizable, so I've never had a reason to switch.

Did you ever try gnome? That's what OP asked.

Yes, my sister uses Gnome, and I'm basically her IT support. I just don't see any reason for switching. It's too limiting for me.

I also used it for a month or two on my own machine before I switched back.
