User Interfaces
I've never been much of a fan of KDE. I did start out my Linux use with MEPIS which used KDE and I found it pretty uninspiring.
I switched to Ubuntu with version 6.06, and I'm still using Ubuntu, though on 11.10 now.
After suffering with Unity for the over a year (the desktop switcher is excruciating to use, and I switch desktops a LOT!) I installed Cinnamon last month, and the relief was instant.
Now, Cinnamon is a Gnome fork, sponsored by the Mint Linux folk, but it works just fine with Ubuntu.
The GUI issue has been tempting me to defect to Mint, but at this point installing Cinnamon was much quicker and easier.
Now, when Ubuntu 12.04 appears, I'll have to decide If HUD makes Unity more usable. I'll probably run it for a while on a thumb drive, before I up and install it on my main system. If HUD doesn't help enough, I'll install the next release of Mint when it gets here.
