KDE and Gnome are battling for the top position. Both have their upsides and their downsides and I have read many debates that sounded reminescent (sp?) of a mac vs. pc debate. It comes down to user preference.

At the moment, I like gnome a lot better than KDE. I like how there are two panels instead of just one...plus themes are a lot easier to install and nautilus rocks! Last year, I loved KDE and couldn't stand gnome.
