I think one stylistic difference between Gnome and KDE is that KDE seems anecdotally more about letting the user tune everything. Gnome aims to conceal that, and offer the user a nice (by their measures) interface with fewer knobs to clutter it.

Maybe a switch that says "my custom DM" will be the outcome. Certainly the gnome-tweak tool should be easier to find, from what I've seen on this list.
