Heh. I expect it depends on where they're coming from.  I switched to
Ubuntu from Gentoo because it was easier to administer, not because of
the way they set up their desktop. Whether that be Ubuntu => Gnome,
Kubuntu => KDE or Xubuntu => Xfce is irrelevant to me because I don't
use ANY of those major desktops.  I use a highly-customized Fvwm setup
because I love getting under the hood, and Fvwm is so very very
customizable that any time someone tries to write a GUI config app, it
always leaves things out.  As for menus, I hardly ever use them.
