Well, for one thing the Gnome printer setup tool is nicely done.

I use KDE out of force of habit; that was what OL 2.2 had.  Solaris 10's 
JAVA desktop seems to be Gnome, and I have had more oppportunity to use 
it because of that.  However, Gnome's Nautilus has a lot of catching up 
before it has the file management capabilities I find in Konqueror.
