I like Gnome. If I'm going to be using a computer all the time, I'll invest the thirty minutes it takes to set up Plasma, and if I want to get weird, I'll play around with a tiling WM. But for the lappy whose sole purpose is to put youtube on the television? Gnome is fast to set up, its theming is (mostly) consistent, and it asks very little of me.
