I don't find gnome intuitive but I do with kde. Many people are the opposite. I like to think of it as left vs right handedness but with more learning curve to train yourself in both.

You can probably also rebase to the other if you change your mind if the distro maintainers haven't stated not to do that or anything but you would probably have to some annoying stuff with the configs that would be left in your user directories, especially if there are any shared dependencies with differences in configuration.

I prefer Gnome's UX/UI, But Valve sponsors KDE and they collaborate, this helps KDE ship gaming related improvements faster than other desktops, so that's why I switched to KDE. IIRC, KDE had VRR 6 months faster and when Gnome got it, it required editing a text file, then a few months more for the UI and last month it was deemed not "experimental". Both are great, with different strengths. My advice is that you try and chose what works best for you.
