There's plenty. Many examples in:
http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2006/06/05/i-love-kde/
Additionally, In GNOME, can you (not /you/ in particular)
use the mouse wheel to switch between virtual desktops? Or
get something like kpager, with windows displayed as
pixmaps? I know you can drag and drop them in GNOME, but I
am yet to see what the latest of GNOME has got to offer, at
least in *that* area.
I can think of many more features that are highly practical
and I very much lack when forced to work under GNOME. You
never know what you are missing until you try something new
and, over time, become dependent on it. Ask Linus (not that
I condone his terrible behaviour). Apparently, he doesn't
like to click too much.
Best wishes,
Roy
