Kde is very much customizable and that is what I find personally  
attractive. In every kde application, there are many short-cuts, tricks  
and custom changes etc that is surprising. When you used kde years back,  
did you noticed konqueror has mouse gestures (besides keyboard short-cuts)  
back then? However I understand many would want the 'off the package',  
standard, good for all, don't waste my time, windows system.  So, to each  
his own.

And if you want to try out some new windows environment, the enlightenment  
package has a vastly improved e17 revision (still in beta though) and very  
much customizable too. You can continue to use ubuntu's repositories for  
your applications.

Anyway, Liam, this is more than what I wanted to say, as someone put it,  
everybody has an opinion; but you're are entitled to mine.
