Actually the interesting thing is that KDE has the vastly more consistant interface. Unlike Gnome which only now since 2.2 has really started to come together KDE has always been designed from the ground up as a system. Up until recently Gnome always felt like the patchwork of apps which made it up. Look at how Gnome for years kept yelling about how you should have "choice in Window managers" verses KDE with its solid single WM. After years of harping on that Gnome finally came around and followed the lead of KDE and standardized on a single Wm, Metacity.
Also unlike many of the popular Gnome apps which are mixed versions of GTK and look it, the popular KDE apps all blend together seemlessly. Everything drags and drops with each other and all the apps work together in harmony and also importantly look the same graphically. Gnome is just starting to working on things now that KDE had years ago. We are all of course hoping that Gnome finally gets a file selector as good as KDE had many years ago. I hold no grudge against Gnome, but from a technical standpoint KDE still provides the better experience throughout the whole Desktop Environment. Gnome IS catching up, but its still has a long way to go before it starts acting as consistant as KDE has for years.
