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

GNOME expects the user to adapt to the workflow its developers have in mind. It's the desktop environment that should adapt to me, not the other way around.

Plus, I love customization and theming. But GTK app developers create angry websites where they try to shame me for it.
