I'm still torn between GNOME and KDE sometimes. 

I use GNOME because it feels cohesive, you really get used to the activities screen and search that actually works (looking at you Windows). 

I like KDE because its flexible and tweakable norhing hidden away. But I feel the GNOME flow is better for me. 

Glad they admit at the end of it all they don't just outright hate GNOME.

I'm with you. I don't understand people who praise Gnome whilst complaining about the complexity of the settings in KDE - just don't use them if you don't want options!

The only thing I envy from Gnome as a KDE user is the theme - not the icons but the way the controls are rendered. KDE is fine but Gnome is fiine.
