I've extensively used Windows, Mac, and Gnome. KDE is by far the greatest. Each decision is great, everything not matching my preference is configurable.* It's fast, intuitive. It's the way our tools should've been: enabling and liberating us, not limiting us and try to get a tax of anything we do. *The only exception: I wish I could have the same status bar shown on all monitors.

Love KDE. Very excited for Union. All these videos and demos are great. Except for the "Faster virtual desktop switching in the Overview" one. 2 fps animations, no voiceover, no text overlay, just a person pressing control (or maybe not?) and the arrow keys.

XFCE is my default, but KDE is far better than others on touchscreens.

I switched from GNOME to KDE around the time 6.0 shipped, and I've been very happy with it. GNOME aims to be Mac-like but in my experience makes a lot of weird decisions. I've been on GNOME since 1.4 (2001?) I had such a great time with KDE, and decided to promote it from just being on my "Linux PC" to all computers I own. I don't run Windows anymore, which is a nice feeling!

I use KDE only because SteamOS comes with it, worth to be tried.

There is a huge opportunity for Linux as many countries seek to ditch Microsoft Windows and office so keep going!

After using i3 for a heck of a long time, I'm finding myself liking KDE quite a lot. The amount of obvious care and polish that went into it is delightful. I just wish it had support for tabbed window layout!

per-screen virtual desktops!! fiinally, the most frustrating thing about KDE, wot lead me to learn so much about other WM systems over the last couple of decades, is gone (the issue was a few days over 21 years old, though closed several weeks back now) I came to find I prefer tag-based systems, where apps can have multiple tags (I came back to AwesomeWM for a number of years twice) but the way KDE didn't handle the "classical" pager behaviour made any kind of workflow a hair pulling experience that necessitated the constant dragging of pager window representations been desktops for one of the screens the new issue for adding a "switch the screen the virtual desktop hotkeys affect" or "switch the virtual desktop somehow on only screen X" system (afaiu, at first brief scan) is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519009
