I'm on Manjaro KDE with no complaints, and don't see any reason to move any time soon. Mostly I want my OS to do its thing and not bother me, so Linux is the only option, and KDE because i've been using it on and off since like 1.3 or something. Before that it was Windowmaker so I still have the task bar on one side of the screen instead of the top or bottom
Gnome does anything but get out of the way! It forces you to work its way or get stuffed. Also calling minimalistic and extensible is a joke compared to KDE (extensibility) or literally anything else (minimalism)
