At the moment, it has to be KDE (2.2.x). It's really easy to use and very logical. However, I do like Enlightenment and Fluxbox, but the skinning is a bit complicated for me right now with the amount of time I'm willing to commit to it.

Back in the day I used to use OpenStep (I think thats what it was called... It looked like NeXTStep anyhow) but now I use Gnome wherever possible.

I use kde 3.1 and am trying to get a working copy of kde 3.2 installed. At first when I made my new steps into the gui world I was scared away by kde at my lowres 256 color settings and moved over to gnome. Gnome eventually turned out to be very incompatible with the applications I was wanting to run so I upgraded my hardware and ventured into hires screen configs and back into kde.

At the moment, sawfish, but may switch to evilwm in a couple of days.

I like KDE, Gnome always has been a little problematic for me. KDE seems to be the most user friendly with easily recognized applications and utilities.

KDE all the way .. no second thoughts ....

8) KDE at the moment. (Mainly because I can't get Gnome to allow different backgrounds on each of the virtual desktops, which helps me remember which one I'm in.) But I do like IceWM.

One of the things I like about Linux is that you can switch window managers at will; one for one purpose another for another, etc. (Or just because you want to try something new...) :x

I've used Gnome, KDE, Enlightenment, Fluxbox, Blackbox, XFCE, and a few others, and I always come back to IceWM.

 

Ice Windows Maker is small, light, minimal, extremely fast, very friendly on resources, rock solidly dependable and highly configurable. I run it on 5 boxes between work and home.

I sometime use KDE coz it may have a configuration function I can't find it in the Gnome menus, and I haven't yet edited my menus, which is probably why I don't use IceWM or blackbox as much on this machine as I do on my older Pentium Debian box.

 

Gnome is faster for me because all the stuff I need is right where I want it and I don't have to go chasing through Apps menus (I could make an effort to edit them!) and it seems to be a little lighter on the 1.3 Duron than KDE.

Window Managers ? GUI ? Ha.

 

Window managers and high resolutions exist soley to allow you run several hundred xterms at once (with a pretty background of course).

Perfectly fair point, however, if you were a bit of a noob and wanted to get a better understanding of the Linux way of thinking, which GUI would you use! Or is that not quite on the thread?
