I use KDE and have found that it rivals the xp gui.
As for GNOME, its a 'uer-friendly-and-make-it-as-dumb-as-possible' piece of junk if you cannot do something as simple as a file association.
I find gnome to be simple but reliable. Kde is more gui friendly with many utilities but sometimes even the main utilities have bugs that render them useless. For example in Ubuntu 5.10 kde's Control Center has a very serious bug that does not authenticate the user under sudo. So the user cannot make any changes in the system as sudo admin. I had to download gnome from the net in order to make system changes in Kubuntu. At another place too I faced the same problem and I updated 'kcontrol' but still the same problem. there was no time or inclination to download gnome so I simply searched for the config file and edited it in vi.
