I second David's take. Please, no long-running flame war over this. Both
desktops are pretty solid nowadays. Unless you're a developer who has some
stake in GTK or QT, you're best off using whichever feels better to you.
That said, I'd like to encourage you to try xfce. It's not as nifty as Gnome
or KDE (And there is nothing wrong with either of those; I'm adding another
option!) but it is a little lighter on the system. It's all the GUI I've
ever needed. Available in the ports tree...
