keyboard layout pop-up would keep popping up after selecting a new layout - I switch between Dvorak and QWERTY frequently
start bar doesn’t auto-hide consistently; I’ve had it overlay on top of full screen windows, and not pop-up when hovered
no real support for Wayland - I tried on both NVIDIA and AMD, and neither would load; I was able to get it to load by starting KDE from the CLI, but it was unstable
And that’s just off the top of my head. I used KDE for years (2-3) and has a variety of weird issues, and when I got my second monitor recently (different refresh rate, no FreeSync, whereas other monitor has FreeSync), I bailed and switched to GNOME. GNOME just worked and got out of my way.
I don’t care too much about either, but KDE was just too buggy for me. I personally would prefer to go back to a tiling WM, but teaching my kids to use it would be too much effort so I just use GNOME. My kids didn’t have a problem with either, and my laptop still runs KDE, so it’s not like I’m against it by any means.
Gnome is great for children and maybe elderly/computer-illiterate family members. For everyone else, KDE.

Nah, I had plenty of issues with KDE:
