Personally, the educational apps included with KDE are one of its key
advantages for home users - or even educational users, for that
matter.
I was a big fan of GNOME 1.4.  However, in the time it took me to
upgrade to SUSE 9.2 (from 8.0), GNOME underwent some changes that I
don't care for.  I have since taken up XFce as my favorite, but have
been using KDE regularly in my new SUSE 10.0 installation.
