GNOME's architecture does seem to integrate more seamlessly with the surrounding operating system platform, since for all its faults GObject does interoperate nicely across different implementation languages in a way that C++ and MOC (does Qt still use this?) does not and never will; there is a hard border between KDE Frameworks and fd.o projects and systemd etc in a way that isn't there for GNOME technologies. Which I think is a point in favor of choosing GNOME as the user interface for a highly vertically integrated OS project, if that makes any sense. On the other hand GNOME's development team does have a rather, well, let's say tenacious commitment to a particular vision of how a user's workflow should operate, and that workflow works for some people but definitely does not work for others.
(incidentally I am reminded of this famous mailing list post, the question at hand today is more about user preferences than relative technical maturity but I think a lot of the earlier points still apply http://www.islinuxaboutchoice.com/ )
