The last thing I rememeber from trying to use KDE is that it's keyboard layout switch applet just does not work. It's very configurable, it shows pretty pictures, it sings and dances [snip]
As someone has already pointed out, it does in fact work. And it is definitely more configuarable than Gnome.

KDE takes longer to set up, but the result is a shaper tool. So you pay up front, but you enjoy a more expressive user interface as a result. This appeals to me, since I spend a lot more time using computers than I do setting them up.

With Gnome, you get a butter knife whether you want one of not.
