It's funny how your preferences change over time.
I've always been a big fan of KDE, and ran Kubuntu for several years, until some serious instability in the Plasma window effects pushed me into Xubuntu with XFCE4 window manager. I just got a new laptop, and loaded stock Ubuntu 10.04 on it. I've been very pleasantly surprised about the new functionality of Gnome. Several things that were very difficult in XFCE are easy in Gnome.
It's not like I was saving a bunch of ram and cycles anyways. Due to the variety of applications that I like to run, it turns out that I need to install and load up both Gnome and KED libraries anyways.
