Using KDE has made me realize how distracting feature creep can be and has made me infinitely grateful for GNOME's hostility to shipping unfinished or band-aid fixes (though it does have its drawbacks).
KDE will always have more mass appeal just because of current computing culture (and that's a good thing, we need someone to take the fall for Windows and Mac refugees) but imo GNOME's design fundamentals is so rock solid and nice to use.
I originally started using Gnome because it looked different from Windows. When they went to Gnome shell, I loved it even more. Nothing cluttering the desktop - just hit super and start typing or select off the pinned dock list. It worked great because I'm 20 years into Linux and I'm used to starting programs from terminal.
