Its Activities function gives users a natural way to organize and access their applications, files and information.

    I like KDE myself but I can see why some people think it's too top heavy.

    I prefer the term 'bloated pig'.

    I tried KDE again recently because Canonical are about to obsolete the version of Ubuntu I'm running (the last with Gnome 2) and I took about a minute just to log in on an i5 system. A lot of that is probably loading the fancy graphics from disk rather than waiting for the CPU to do something, but I can live without fancy graphics.
