Gnome is better on that now, but I have been using gnome since back when KDE was using non-free libraries to be prettier
Gnome probably isn't the best free desktop anymore, but I guess I'm used to it
There's a lot to be said for familiarity and its impact on productivity... Which is why I hate when UI layouts change for no apparent reason other than to be different.
It's also good to try and work the way the system is designed for — or maybe to share a way of working with the design leads
Gnome likes you to have several things open, spread across the different desktops, and you really want to know the shortcuts for jumping between stuff
That's why I stopped using Gnome. I loved Gnome 2.x, but then they went all screwey with Gnome 3 so I switched to Cinnamon.
