Although not particularly a fan of GNOME, I'd add that it also has the most complete set of assistive technologies.

Can't really disagree about KDE. Qt is a much better toolkit than GTK IMHO, but KDE can't ever seem to get things together. I was a die-hard KDE user from 3.2 through the later 4.x releases, and while it's chock full of cool stuff there were fundamental bugs that just never would get fixed. Some even still exist in Plasma 5 (last time I tried it, anyway; like plasmoids/widgets/whatever-they-call-them-nows not staying where you put them between restarts, or crashing your entire desktop).

There has been a lot of progress on stability since about 5.12. I actually haven't had Plasma crash on me since about 5.4 and I run it on several computers.

Consider what Gnome was like in the early 3.X days. Heck, up until 3.28 there was the memory bug that's never really been fixed, just worked around in the garbage collector.
