What didn't you like about it when you tried it?
I like it because it's pretty, stays out of my way, and mostly "just works" out of the box. KDE seems to encourage the user to configure everything to their liking, but I hate configuring stuff.
IIRC, I did not like how restrictive it felt. I can't speak of the details as I don't remember enough about it.
it's intentionally restrictive on the surface because it helps alleviate the anxiety of people who have only used windows or mac before.
i think of gnome as the gateway drug of the foss world; if they like it enough, they'll want more.
