GNOME seems to be built for the lowest-common denominator of user. They go out of their way to make sure there is only one possible way to do something and almost nothing can be customized without writing an extension. I imagine their devs go to sleep every night, only to be shaken awake at 3 AM by a horrific nightmare wherein some 85 year-old grandma was mildly confused by a setting in the control panel that she didn't understand. I consider myself a "power user." I know what the computer can do, I know what works for me, and I want software that can be bent to my will, especially if I will be spending the majority of my day working with it. I tried to like GNOME for a long time, but KDE with all of its functionality and flexibility fits me a whole lot better.
