The first few are with E, the more recent ones are with sawmill. Sawmill
just works better than E for my purposes -- just as themeable (at least 
as much as I want) and smaller/faster. Plus I like the default bindings
better. (Granted, not a valid reason, but still ;p )

GNOME. It's what I use. I like KDE. I just like GNOME better. I like the
bleeding edge ;p GNOME runs very stable and quick for me, and it seems a
bit more modular -- i.e. I can swap out which components I want to use
(window manager, terminal emulator, editor) just a little bit easier. This
makes it a little less coherent at times than KDE, but I'm really ok with
that.
