I rather like KDE4. I don't find that it's like Windows at all, given that
Windows is an operating system and KDE4 is a development framework, application
suite, and window manager. There're hefty differences there, not the least of
which being that KDE4 isn't an operating system kernel. In general, I've found
it to be well-maintained (some of the window managers I've used in the past
went defunct when the 1-2 developers actively working on them got bored or
whatever), nicely designed, attractive appearance-wise, and easy to configure.
Let's face it, spending a whole bunch of hours over the course of a few weeks
writing a perfect afterstep config was really cool when I was a young'un and
didn't have a life to worry about, but nowadays I just want to get on with what
needs doing. KDE allows me to accomplish just that, efficiently, and without
leaving me unable to toggle/modify/configure certain things as GNOME does.
