I installed as a promise to a friend that I would give it an honest try and 
it's been about a year since.

 The thing I like the most about it is on a fresh install it only installs the 
absolute necessities and the user can build onto that. I also found that totem 
works much better than kaffeine and as far as Amarok vs Rhythmbox I don't 
notice anything that stands out between the 2 and they both work equally well.

All in all, what I like about Gnome is that the developers seem to stick to 
the the KISS principle, starting with a Pinto and giving you the option to 
build a customized Porsche.
