Nothing is wrong with a Windows GUI. But when I was first really getting into
Linux about 12-13 years ago, I wanted something different than Windows (which
was my main OS at the time). In the Microsoft-dominated home computer market,
I was mainly just curious to see what else existed. Since KDE was (at least
initially) designed to look a lot like Windows, I wasn't really interested in
it at first.
Since I was curious about other operating systems, around that time I had tried
out a couple others as well. At one point, I had 4 operating systems installed
on my PC (Windows, Linux, OS/2, and BeOS), with a boot manager set up to choose
one. :P

The themes were something I always liked about Gnome. For a while I used some
themes that made it look similar to OS X, and I used some others as well. Now
that Gnome has been drastically re-styled though (with the new "Unity"
interface), I'm not sure if it supports themes anymore. I've used it at work
and haven't seen configuration options for themes (I haven't really looked for
such an option though).
