I personally prefer gnome, work in it is just faster with gnome shell and it's window management, but it's is very individual. You can install KDE next to the Gnome and test it without removing Gnome jet.– tikendJul 1, 2013 at 12:32

2"And tell me which is better among KDE and GNOME" is a subjective question and possible flame war >:-)– RinzwindJul 1, 2013 at 12:34

You can install KDE using this command
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
To remove Gnome:
sudo apt-get --purge remove liborbit2
or
sudo apt-get remove gnome-desktop

2Rather than installing the simple metapackage, consider installing the APT task. See Should I use tasksel, tasks in APT or install regular metapackages? Jul 1, 2013 at 12:56
