Just personal taste, but I don't find KDE visually appealing, and not only the default theme ("Breeze"). Unfortunately, I can't get used to the usability issues on GNOME.
IMO, the sweet spot of visually appealing and good UX is .... Windows 10 (sigh), followed by a close second in Cinnamon (and I'm also a fan of IceWM).
