For me, KDE4 looks to be not worth the learning curve. Since KDE4 forces me to learn *something* new and less usable than KDE3 it seems worth considering Gnome.
I'd be interested in hearing from those who use it and what their experiences are.
Thanks, Bob --
Though I prefer gnome, it crashed (on openSUSE 11.1) some time back (I was trying to make some changes & add a shortcut to the desktop, also trying to restore a missing 'My Computer' icon using GNOME Configuration Editor (gconf-editor), when it suddenly crashed, and all desktop icons disappeared, have not been able to fix this; thro' Google search, apparently some others have had a similar problem with Nautilus crashing in openSUSE 11.1). So, I tried the XFCE DE. XFCE has a simple user interface and is easy to use and customize; in addition to being stable (in my linited user experience). Would be good though if they updated the online documentation (last update is for ver 4.2, in 2004).
