(I and many others really prefer kde3/4, gnome 2 (and even 3) as well as mate and cinnamon and some light weight wms over Unity)

User experience isn't objective.

exactly his point

I prefer KDE. Unity has a mix of in-house, mac-style and Gnome design. I can't say it provides the best UX. It does provide consistency which makes it the most popular distribution and desktop environment.

On the other hand KDE is much more versatile and perceptive of user's choice. It has a rich set of software which includes a full productivity suite of KDE PIM (personal information management) and all Qt apps fit pretty well in KDE. KDE heavily uses widgets which makes your overall experience better.

You should give OpenSUSE 13.1 or Fedora 20 KDE a try.

> best UX on Linux so far

surely you jest

I find Gnome 3 to be slightly less goofy, and the extensions repository makes it easy to patch over the remaining bits of fail.
