KDE 4.5 is good, no more Gnome for me

KDE 4.5 is super smooth, only took the KDE team 2 years and a half. Is KDE perfect? No, then again my preferred environment is Mac OS X. But KDE is pretty damn good and I prefer it to the UI of Windows 7, though only slightly.
Gnome 2 is old and outdated, Gnome 3 wont be here until next year and I'm not liking the new Gnome shell destined for Gnome 3. I might like it when I dabble with it then, but not now. It looks too confusing and cluttered for me.

I've never used KDE before but I did try it a couple of days ago as I was also very disappointed with the GNOME Shell when I tried it. So I decided to take a look at KDE for the first time (the one that came with Mandriva 2010 Spring live CD) and I must say I'm hooked. KDE desktop really looks gorgeous and it makes a lot more sense compared to GNOME Shell. The next time I reinstall my OS it will definitely be setup to use KDE desktop.
