I've been an elementaryOS user for years and I ended up dropping the whole thing in favour of xfwm4 + synapse + tint2. eOS is a really nice looking thing, but it's buggy, release after release it's losing features, like [1] - this specific one was never fixed in the previous release. The built-on music app collapses under a reasonable amount of music, same as banshee or quod libet can easily handle. Geary, the mail app looks nice, but lacks basic features and has a tendency to corrupt IMAP folders. The window manager of eOS, Gala, is indeed impressive, but lack options to tweak. In the previous release, it was impossible to disable the ALT+TAB effect, even if all the other effects were set to none. So overally: it's looks nice, the window manager is fast, and if you're fine with the defaults, you're probably going to be a happy user - until you find something you miss, and there is no way to fix that. https://bugs.launchpad.net/switchboard-plug-power/+bug/1359054 https://bugs.launchpad.net/switchboard-plug-power/+bug/13590...
