Neither are usable in my opinion, but that is a different matter ;-)

Nautilus and Konqueror both suck. If you want a GOOD filemanager you
should get Rox-Filer. http://rox.sf.net

Not my experience. KDE programs crash just as much, consumes a lot of
RAM and are sluggish to start (especially the office programs). And of
course butt ugly :-).

I expect the only support for Ada that KDevelop 3.0 has is syntax
higlighting. As to get GPS to use themes, it should only be to add one
code line if I'm not mistaken..

However, please note that you can run KDE programs in Gnome and Gtk/Gnome
programs in KDE.
