For me its KDE.

Seems like I’m the outlier here that prefers Gnome over KDE. Gnome feels more polished than KDE for me. Granted KDE comes with more features out of the box, but I don’t find anything lacking in Gnome for me.
Tried KDE long time ago to compare it to Gnome 3, went back to Gnome. Tried KDE again a few months ago to compare to Gnome 42, came back to Gnome again.
I also can’t stand having all my programs’ name starting with K.

Like Okular, Spectacle, Dolphin, …
Maybe I shouldn’t have said all, but it’s annoying to me when the they put a “k” in the name in a very awkward way just because it’s an KDE app.
KDE was the first one I used after getting more comfortable with Linux and leaving Unity behind. KDE was very customizable and extensible, but when you actually started customizing it quickly became unreliable. I stuck with it for a few years then I tried Elementary next and it was pretty polished but it was limited to a specific distribution. After that I went to GNOME and I’ve been using it for 7 years now. It does need a few extensions, but otherwise I’ve found that it works quite well. I think I’ve also changed, I’m not as interested in things like wobbly windows anymore. I just want the desktop environment to stay out of my way, but I also don’t want it to be too bare bones.
Both take great benefits from the improvements of the other.
Vanilla Gnome. It’s simple/boring, and I like that. It seems like most people that like Gnome don’t care that it’s not a poweruser DE, and aren’t excited to talk about it either.
GNOME, for sure. It works out of the box, and it’s kind of pretty out of the box.
I also tried it on a touch screen PX and it works surprisingly well.
KDE forever!

I’m a simple person. I see KDE, I upvote.
Love me some Cinnamon. Specifically what comes out of default Linux Mint. It isn’t trying to do more than it already is. As cool as tech is I wish I didn’t need to care about Wayland or X11. I just want it to launch applications, feel like the windows I used as a kid, and stay out of my way. Cinnamon does this all for me. And since freaking high school mint has been there trying to do that.
Xfce, i just like it.
KDE is love, KDE is life
i3 / Sway with Albert or dmenu or rofi
I just love keeping my hands on the keyboard
KDE Plasma on desktop
Cinnamon on (older lower spec) laptop
GNOME, with a little bit of extension customisability!
Mine is MATE:
It’s still GNOME 2, but I see no problem with that, it works and I’m used to it and I like traditional desktops. I don’t need (or care about) round borders or those on/off switches of modern desktops, that make them look like phone screens turned 90°.
Nice, impressive.
KDE
For aesthetics: Budgie, with Cinnamon a close second For simplicity and speed: XFCE
