I think KDE still has the style of older systems, or at least to me it seems like it does. GTK DEs are all a total disaster and definitely a sinking ship for anyone wishing to have any customization or usability over their system, I booted up XFCE the other day on Linux Mint, and 3 different programs all had their own title bars. Things like that don't ever seem to happen on Windows or KDE.

Yes. KDE however suffered for many years from what I like to call "programmer art." Including bad fonts and padding. It also had a bewildering amount of control panels and tweak-ability. Better than a lack of them, but Win2k had it just about right. A reasonable amount of configurability, mostly good defaults, and just about anything possible via a setting hidden underneath. Gnome and KDE seem to have chosen opposite sides of that happy medium. Looking at recent screen shots KDE seems to have fixed the first problem. I'll have to try it again.
