I never cared too much for KDE3, but KDE4 and KDE5 to me is much better than GNOME. The main reason was KDE3 would set my eyes on fire, GNOME never did (on the same hardware). KDE4 was better with that and KDE5 I have no issues with eye strain. I never used KDE6 so no opinion. FWIW, I still use simple window managers and will continue until forced onto Wayland. Hoping that never happens since I really dislike all Desktop Environments. If I had to use a D/E, it would be KDE. But one comment about Trinity was with KMail, the version with KDE3 was great and I use to use it, but the KDE4/5 versions to me is hard to use. That is when I switched over to Thunderbird.
