A full KDE desktop provides more features than windows and uses less than a third of the disk space windows used.
It can use the same amount of ram if you configure it that way but you can also make it really light if you don't want all the features.
Compared to vista and above, KDE is much more responsive, configurable and easy to use.
If you can't configure KDE, you shouldn't be using Linux at all.

Real question here G, should I try kde, or maybe openbox? In the past I've used lxde, xfce, and mate, but I've never needed any of the fancy graphics features and twm runs really well on just about anything, I even use it on my old IBM desktop from before the days of gui (mostly just a for-fun computer, I don't do any serious work on it anymore). It's just so simple and dignified, every time I run a different window manager it feels like I'm being slowed down by extra clicks and whatever processing power is being wasted rendering so much detail.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as GNU/Linux or NSA/Windows, is in fact, Windows/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Windows plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Windows system made useful by the NT corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by Microsoft. Many computer users run a modified version of the Windows system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Windows which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Windows system, developed by Microsoft. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. NT is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the Windows operating system: the whole system is basically Windows with Linux added, or Windows/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of Windows/Linux.
