KDE

I used to be opposed to the KDE license, so I'd try to use Gnome and always 
got annoyed by it.  It just seemed klunky and slow.  So I stayed with fvwm 
for years.  Finally, around KDE 2.1 I tried KDE and it was awesome.  Now I 
use it all the time.

KDE has good defaults, lots of configurability, GUI control over everything 
I want, excellent integration, and is very intuitive.  I really like the 
many speedups for querying ggogle, rpmfind, etc.  It is easy to extend so 
I can now query our local bugzilla database.
