There is a feature that KDE has and GNOME does not in the current 
development mix. KDE has menus and GNOME does not.

This gave me a chance to use KDE a bit until the menus get fixed with GNOME.

I like having both window-managers around and use software that is 
developed within both managers.

KDE applications/file managers seem to work better connecting to windows 
than nautilus and GNOME tools do.

I like GNOME over KDE because it seems less cartoonish and less windows 
cloned than KDE used to seem to me. KDE seems to be getting better 
polished and I like having both available for picking whichever I'd like 
to use at the time.

I think both KDE and GNOME are getting attention from the developers and 
both are improving.

I would like to see bluecurve becoming an option or a tertiary windows 
manager that works well with both KDE and GNOME, instead of a merging of 
the two managers into one interface.
