What features do use need that only KDE or GNOME offer?

What features do you like that you use with KDE and/or GNOME?

Maybe you can use another window manager (or desktop environment) that is
smaller.

I have used blackbox for around five years.

I also use icewm on some systems (because it is easier to use for the
end-users).

They work fine for me (and I do use KDE, QT, and Gnome apps using
blackbox).

(Anyways, do use both KDE and GNOME at same time?)

p.s. this sounds like a -chat thread and not advocacy.
