I used to be a Gnome fan, well before the days of Gnome3, but found a combination of KDE, Gnome and Xfce apps worked better and was more customisable to what I required with another Desktop Environment - generally, Xfce, but found Fluxbox also quite workable. These days I find KDE much improved beyond the endless segfaults it used to suffer from and I also run Enlightenment as a second choice to give myself a break every now and again, but all this with unstable. Nothing wrong with Debian.
