I, too, think that KDE 3.1 is the best thing since sliced bread. 
Although I don't use Konq for my web browser, I use pretty much 
everything else on a consistent basis. KOffice is really nice, too. I 
think the KDE project has got some really great minds behind it and to 
quote "Running Linux":

"Since its inception in October 1996, it has made great progress. This 
is partly due to the choice of a very high-quality GUI toolkit, Qt, as 
well as the consequent choice of using C++ and its object-oriented 
features for the implementation."

I think this is just a case of good design from the ground up. I tried 
the 2.x series and I wasn't impressed, at the time. (Possibly because of 
a extra slow GCC G++ 2.9.x compiler.) But now, every thing seems to have 
reached a polished state and their good planning has finally payed off.

I used Gnome 2 up until about three months ago and loved it, as well. I 
have a lot of respect for the Gnome people but -- for me -- KDE 3.1 is 
da' bomb.
