1. KDE

2. I always try Gnome every time I change distributions, and always go 
back to KDE. More things just seem to *work* without excessive hassles.

3. No, KDE was not the first one I ever used.

4. There are others, of course, which seem to fall into 2 categories:
   The lightweight, minimal stuff, good if that's all you can run, but hey, I 
paid good money for this computer, why should it look like something out of 
the '80s? 
   The flashy stuff with controls that seem to have been taken from some alien 
spacecraft. No matter how incomprehensible the design, these still only open 
and close windows just like all the others. Why bother?
