Funny thing that I actually moved away from ubuntu several years ago, and from gnome a little bit before that and

I wonder where you got your data, the 2013 /r/linux survey found out: "Just like last year, there is a lot of variety in what /r/Linux is using as it's graphical environment of choice with "Other" being the top category. The top three are KDE 4, Gnome 3, and XFCE. (...) KDE 4.x was third last year. This year it moved up to first place.

For the second year in a row Unity wins "Most Hated Environment" of /r/Linux, followed by GNOME 3, KDE 4, and then KDE 3.

And gnome is well known for telling their users they're stupid and clueless, but I don't remember reading such a thing from kde in the ten years I've been using it.



  Evironment	Non-Server Users	Server Users	Total
  KDE 4.x	392	667	1059
  GNOME 3.x	376	627	1003
  XFCE  	378	605	983
  Unity 	342	438	780
  Cinnamon	378	397	775
  GNOME 2.x	213	463	676
Totalling the Gnome-based DEs [0], I get 4217 users versus 1059 users for KDE.
