I've extensively used Windows, Mac, and Gnome. KDE is by far the greatest. Each decision is great, everything not matching my preference is configurable.* It's fast, intuitive. It's the way our tools should've been: enabling and liberating us, not limiting us and try to get a tax of anything we do.

*The only exception: I wish I could have the same status bar shown on all monitors.

Same experience. Been around the block as far as operating systems and desktop environments. KDE feels juuuust right, like I'm at home.

Love KDE. Very excited for Union. All these videos and demos are great.

Except for the "Faster virtual desktop switching in the Overview" one. 2 fps animations, no voiceover, no text overlay, just a person pressing control (or maybe not?) and the arrow keys.

XFCE is my default, but KDE is far better than others on touchscreens.

I switched from GNOME to KDE around the time 6.0 shipped, and I've been very happy with it. GNOME aims to be Mac-like but in my experience makes a lot of weird decisions. I've been on GNOME since 1.4 (2001?)

I had such a great time with KDE, and decided to promote it from just being on my "Linux PC" to all computers I own. I don't run Windows anymore, which is a nice feeling!

I use KDE only because SteamOS comes with it, worth to be tried.

There is a huge opportunity for Linux as many countries seek to ditch Microsoft Windows and office so keep going!

Yes. It's been so good for a while now. And never I'm scared about major versions: we just get iteratively better desktop. Commercial desktops should take a note.
