I find GNOME rather clunky whereas KDE, at least on Fedora and Nobara,
is perfect out of the box. I imagine that a lot of people who try out
Linux and face GNOME are going to wonder how to do the basics, and they
will likely find that the way extensions work is rather clunky,
especially during upgrades. Meanwhile, KDE is very familiar and offers a
ton of features they could only dream of in Windows like the desktop
effects, theming options and widgets. Unlike Cinnamon too, the widgets
in KDE actually work as they should.

The Ubuntu box has GNOME. I live with it but I'm not a fan. I'd rather
have a menu structure rather than the 'Show Applications' button that
brings up three or four screens of unsorted stuff.

 GNOME was designed with the belief that anyone looking for an application will press the Windows key and then type the name of what they're looking for rather than select it from a menu. That's how I do it whether I use Windows, GNOME or KDE so I would agree with their design choice.
 

I agree. I started using Gnome in 2014, it changed the way I use MS Windows. Menus tend to be arbitrary, very difficult to find stuff. A short task bar of frequently used apps and text search for other stuff is much better.
