		 KDE has a familiar feel to someone who is switching from MS Windows.  I installed that on my fiance's computer and she likes it.  I used to like Gnome until Ximian came up with Nautilus, which seems to me to be one of the biggest wastes of RAM resources since MS Windows ME. 
 
Regarding themes:  Gnome is a window manager.  Themes are made for desktop managers.  If you want themes for Gnome, look for themes for Enlightenment, Sawfish, etc.
