KDE vs. GNOME

I was wondering what is the big deal with the 2 differenct type of sessions you can have (KDE & GNOME). I use KDE more because i can use my desktop more efficiently but i want to know what the major differences are.
Thanks

Enmity:
Well, as a noob (and damn proud of it  ;)  ) I think KDE is more user friendly...
I decided to use gnome first when I just installed Mandrake but decided it didn't fit me right away.
Maybe KDE has that little bit of "windows-Start button"ish feeling   :D  
As to differences, nothing major.

erosnemesis:
sorry to say but you are using mandrake and i am using RedHat Linux 9.0 and think they are kinda different because my GNOME and KDE both have that windows start button thing

Red Hat is kinda on its own in this case

Red Hat has the two desktops (KDE Gnome) refurbished
by a group of developers and called it blucurve.

in the RH model KDE and Gnome look alike well exactly the same, but in most other Linuxes they look TOTALLY different and act very differently.

some programs are designed for either Gnome or KDE
they are that specifically different.

I like enlightenment.  Its really cool.  But on my main PC I use KDE cause it deals with switching locales more smoothly.  Though I havn't used Gnomein a long time, I remember myself always wanting to go back to KDE when in gnome.  But take a look at enlightenment, its really nice.
