Both have their advantages. KDE is the best for people who love eye-candy, because it has features like window transparency, shadows, animated things, etc. But because of all these extra features, it is very bloated, and is quite slow. Gnome, on the other hand, is more lightweight. It still has quite a lot of eye candy, but I find it quicker, easier and simpler.
Of course, the best way for you to find out is to try them yourself, and find your favourite.

I use KDE on my system, & it moves along pretty fast. I thing KDE is much better to use myself.

Personally, KDE reminds me a lot like OS X and Gnome reminds me of Windows. I don't like Mac GUI ( or windows ) so I go with Gnome on my main linux box. Flux on the rest

Hello,
The one thing I like about KDE is the terminal with the little tabs on the bottom. One piece of screen, multiple terminals on it. I do a lot of terminal things, and it is a screensaver for me to have them all in one window.

I think Gnome looks more like a Mac than KDE does. KDE can be Beautified just like as in Windows.

KDE
+Looks pretty.
+Highly customizable.
+Most Linux programs written for the X display are designed for KDE.
+/-Lots of eye-candy and useless utilities.
-SLLLOOOOOWWWW (unless you have a mighty kick-**** computer).
-If you're running 6 or more programs throughout the multiple desktops, it can slow down to the speed of a McDonald's drivethrough on 4:20.
GNOME
+It's fast (doesn't matter if your computer is high-end or not).
+On a Pentium II 450MHz, I've only noticed it slow down if I was running 20 or more programs scattered about 4 virtual desktops. :cheesy:
+Has better looking visual themes (they're alot cleaner in appearance).
-....I can't really think of any downsides....
FINAL CONSENSUS
For functionality, stability and perfect for everyday use, go with GNOME.
For the Windows convert who loves their pretty looking window managers, KDE.
For functionality, stability, perfection for everyday use, and pretty cool look, go with FluxBox (or BlackBox if you wanna kick it old school). :mrgreen:
