One's a bit raw and touchy, but the other is vintage stuff, brought up to date

I ran Windowmaker as my primary WM for many years back in the day. now I run KDE, but as a holdover I want the primary taskbar vertical rather than horizontal. GSDE is somewhat interesting for that reason but I doubt I'll actually install it for quite some time yet, I've got comfy with KDE

I've been on XFCE for well over 15 years, maybe nearly 20.
In the beginning I ran Xubuntu because it was faster than Gnome 2 on my ancient laptop.
Nowadays, I just run it out of habit on top of Arch. I've had my stints on KDE and modern Gnome, but I like how "out of the way" XFCE is.

GSDE looks interesting, but I'm sure it will only appeal to the Elders that have used nextstep and similar UIs.
