I praised openSUSE 11.2 too soon. It's not as good as I thought.
openSUSE 11.2 seemed good at first, but now I am realized it is a problematic mess. Everything seems to have a "bug" and is a headache to get working correctly. At first I thought is was cool because of it's overall polished look but that's not the case. Ubuntu 9.10 was MUCH less problematic and everything just WORKED.
I have distro-hopped in the past, and my favorite distro back then was Linux Mint, so I am going to try that again. And Mint has a great looking Gnome desktop.
I have changed my mind about Gnome as well, I think it can be modified to look just as good as KDE, and Mint's default Gnome desktop easily looks as good as KDE.

I am gonna try Mint first because I remember it in the past being slightly better than Ubuntu, so maybe that's still the case.

As someone once said - whatever works, works...
We each have our favorite distributions. I've used Gentoo, Mepis, Fedora, Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, Debian, Freespire, and a couple of specialty distributions. Which is my "favorite" depends upon what I'm doing, and the system I'm doing it on. For a server/workstation - CentOS. For a laptop/netbook - Ubuntu. For an embedded ARM device - Debian. For greatest control - Gentoo. For "The Compleate Idiot" - Freespire. Etc. They all work - some better than others, depending upon the situation. So, my advice is to try them all until you find the one that works best for you. Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

Other factors that can come into play after you've found the distribution that's best for you is that our computer hardware changes from time to time, distributions change about every 6 months at new release time, and our personal tastes can change regarding what we like or don't like about a distribution. Any of those could have an impact on the way you see your current distribution, so you might have to look just a bit further now and then in order to stay in the groove.

they are all tools IMO. each distro is better at somethings than others. that being said, you wouldn't use a pipe wrench to wire in an electrical outlet?
