Honestly, must of my Linux time is spent in the shell, browsing the web, or playing games on Steam, mostly in that order. I used to be picky about my software (used to use XMonad with a curated set of keyboard-driven software), but GNOME seems to work mostly okay these days without fuss, so I've been using it.
I guess I'm trying out KDE because I'm moving to opensuse, so replace some of the stuff above with "whatever comes with KDE". I really don't care that much anymore until something doesn't work right, and that's pretty rare anymore.
