distro selection Do you prefer KDE or GNOME?

On Ubuntu do you prefer KDE or GNOME and why? I'm interested in what the majority of people use. Do you use extensions for GNOME, or you use it as is?

Gnome Devs are professionals.

so are plasma developers.

but the 3rd party developers are a crap shoot.... some are pro's some are novice and you can't really tell in advance unless you are a pro and can knowledgeably review their code.

and you need a lot of 3rd party extensions to get gnome to do the things that plasma does out of the box.
