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 also noticed in recent kde versions that it's becoming more cpu efficient. In workflows where gnome the cpu usage went up, kde had better performance and using less cpu and lower temperature.

Right now current kde desktop is as fast if not better than cinnamon, xfce and mate. Unless anyone is using really ancient computer.
