I also dislike the non-X-ish behaviour of Gnome and KDE. But I think KDE is much better off, I don't have the selection problem there and in a few apps like Konqueror the ^U actually works. I have never had trouble with ^C in the terminal emulator, Konsole, which is actually leaner than an xterm.
It is my understanding that the KDE people are more hackerish and tend to put more features in their apps (like a command shell in their file manager), at the expense of Mac-style ease-of-use which a default Gnome desktop (almost) offers. (OTOH, changing behvaiour in Gnome and Firefox required changing semi-documented values in hex.)
What disturbed me most about both Gnome and KDE is that they strayed from the perfectly good concept of X resources. Suddenly the settings live in the toolkit (client side) instead of the server (my terminal). It took a bit getting used to.
