I love KDE, but as someone who exclusively uses KDE already I have little visibility into Gnome or any other alternatives really, and I'm a little surprised they aren't defaulting to Gnome since that seems to be the default choice for many distros. Besides my personal feelings that it's a bit ugly and very clunky to configure, anyone feel like ranting about the drawbacks of Gnome or other desktop environments so that I can feel educated and continue to justify their and my choice of KDE to myself? :)

Nothing wrong with Gnome, it’s very good in my book. It’s simple so you can recommend it to a non-tech friend (who does not expect things to look like Windows). Yet it’s powerful enough so you can use it as a power user quite efficiently. KDE is just much more options, if you need them. Not everyone needs, so I think both are welcome to advance and be actively developed.
