You might want to try again. Plasma has virtual desktops, all kinds of UI transitions with animation speeds from "slow" to "instant", and a whole host of keyboard shortcuts available for switching desktops, windows, etc. They've also put good work into the System Settings window that makes these types of things easier to find and configure. I think it would be very rare that someone would give configurability as their reason for leaving KDE / Plasma for Gnome. If anything, people tend to complain that KDE is too configurable.
