Kubuntu is the 60% release that nobody pays attention to. For years, I 
recommended Kubuntu because it was less restrictive than (GNOME) Ubuntu. 
Unfortunately, I've also watched serious bugs left untouched while 
similar bugs in the main (GNOME) Ubuntu were fixed. As such, I started 
recommending (GNOME) Ubuntu because it has fewer major bugs. And I 
*hate* recommending GNOME.

I run XDM and Fluxbox because I'm willing to accept that tradeoff of 
freedom for Mac-ness; if KDE is going to be treated that way, Canonical 
should have the balls to say so.
