The biggest thing for me with these two which makes KDE the better DE is that with Gnome I have to change the way I work, with KDE I change it to the way I work. That's what it all boils down to for me.

As far as I know there is no intended method for changing the default terminal in Gnome.
100% unacceptable.
You just described my exact situation. I went back to plasma after using GNOME for 3 weeks.

Thats not Gnome. You need to remove the glasses. Hair is not an option. Two eyes, mouth, nose. That's all you get. And you are not allowed to focus on all three, only one at a time can be shown.
I don't know, with Gnome extensions you menage to change anything you'd want to and even more.
Maybe not anything, but the options are there
But I don't want third-party extensions, I want a DE that comes with a first-party system tray
Ok cool thats what you want, fair enough. We, as in Gnome users, don't mind third party extensions for features we want, and that's also fair enough. Every linux user has the option to use whatever DE/WM they want. This freedom is what we fight for.
We, as in the whole linux community have big enough fights outside our community, the last thing we need is quarrels on the inside. "Yes you can use whatever you want do whatever you want", "Ok cool I'm gonna use this then", "NOO YOU HAVE TO USE THIS ARGHHHGH". It's pathetic.

It's more like:

lmao my KDE is the most rainbow shit evee with candy icons and purple color
Haha, I just tried kde plasma yesterday and went back to dark gloomy serious gnome.
Yeah I've been using Gnome for a few years and decided to try xfce and kde again, kde kept crashing then reloading and wouldnt save where I put my widgets. And xfce was good but I couldn't get Awesome WM to work and I missed wayland. So back to Gnome I guess

Other way around
Agreed. Because I prefer KDE and the goth chick.
I don't think you have to be goth to like goth chicks
Gnome is the fancy rainbow girl but with useful eyes or mouth. While KDE is the other girl, elegant and customizable and could be a more functional rainbow girl if she so chooses.
(This came out really weirdly but maybe y'all got it anyways)
Edit: I actually meant useless but eh.
Yes. As a Gnome user is agree.

Gnome is business casual.
I migrated from Kubuntu after 4 years to Debian 12 last month. Default GNOME DE. Yesterday I uninstalled that shit and installed Plasma. GNOME is pretty and shit, but just wasn't for me.
Every time I try GNOME I get very confused about what they're training to achieve. I don't like a lot of basic default settings, a story in itself. But the worst part is that they can only be changed via advanced tooling not installed by default (extensions, GNOME tweak). How is that user friendly?

Definitely Gnome :)
Why does Gnome not have tray icons yet! I really don't get it.
I don't want to use extensions.

I know everybody craps on GNOME, but I like it. I always give KDE a try and end up running into a bug that makes me switch back.
That said it has been about two years......maybe I'll give it another go.
I also prefer gnome. People for the most part just circlejerk to fit in.
"Linux is about choice!!"
"Ok I choose this DE"
"NOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT"
All these KDE vs. Gnome discussions. I tried them all in a production environment with smb shares WebDAV, caldav etc. I can use them all the way it is usable. But best working from the ground, without to much hassle, is simply gnome.
If someone is new to Linux I would always lead them to gnome.
