Distrowatch Gallery, but it's not the best place (these are outdated images). You'll find more beautiful screenshots in the community forums where distros have a "show your desktop" thread. I don't know about KDE neon, though.

KDE Plasma is similar to Windows, but allows customizing at a greater depth. Any detail, no matter how small a change it is, will probably be possible, and all done through the KDE settings. It abuses on transparency and slide effects for its GUI, and promotes full featured applications with high configurability, such as video editor Kdenlive, Krita and others.

KDE's goal is to allow you to do anything without resorting to solutions that only interest advanced users. In other words, its graphical interface will provide you options for anything. It seeks to add features in a "one size fits all" philosophy, same as Windows.

Compared to KDE Plasma, GNOME seeks simplicity, as in not adding a feature if it's not a very common task. It keeps things clean, while focusing on doing what it does very well. Its logo is a feet, which means human. Tries to keep things simple, human, intuitive. Some may not agree.

Things used to be more "binary". KDE or GNOME? It was a simple choice. But now we have environments like Budgie, MATE, Cinnamon and many new ones. Each tries to fill the gaps GNOME or KDE has, they try an alternate way.
