using Gnome now and though I've tried using KDE, even the latest
versions satisfy me and they all have a plastic, "cobbled together
feel".

Gnome just feels more complete and mature when compared to . Yes, there
are some feature in KDE 3.x and even 4.x that I thought were neat, but
at the end of the day Gnome does the job, is stable, and makes sense.
KDE just doesn't have that same feeling to it.

Really the only thing I miss about KDE is:
Kopete > Pidgin (this is a close call too)
Kate > Gedit (there's no comparison here, Kate is better than all the
other GUI editors... combined)
Akregator is a great program and does a better job managing RSS than
Thunderbird

Other than that, I'm just not to partial of KDE lately, no matter how
many times I give it a try there's always something that send me back to
Gnome.
