I love KDE, but as someone who exclusively uses KDE already I have little visibility into Gnome or any other alternatives really, and I'm a little surprised they aren't defaulting to Gnome since that seems to be the default choice for many distros. Besides my personal feelings that it's a bit ugly and very clunky to configure, anyone feel like ranting about the drawbacks of Gnome or other desktop environments so that I can feel educated and continue to justify their and my choice of KDE to myself? :)

I'm in the same boat, I think Gnome being the default in some distros is mostly because of historical reasons, perhaps similar to how Ubuntu used be good

Historical, but static because the existing user base is used to how gnome works. At least most big distros let you use whichever you prefer
