For me it is, 100% XFCE. I'm working on a single monitor, so managing workspaces is crucial and xfce4 lets you set these up in seconds. I am very happy to now can brag about it to someone: You can allow your desktop to react to your mousewheel to change workspaces. Combine this with a one pixel border on any site of your maximized windows and you can circle your workspaces by just pulling your mouse to the edge. In practice, with an full-hd monitor, one does not see that there is one pixel of your desktop visible. In the few cases where the hand uses the mouse, this is the most convienient feature one can possibly experience. I also can click in the same area with the right mouseclick and access my applicationmenu. Another neat trick: xfce4 has to default application finder, alt+f2 and alt+f3. The latter appears to be unusable, because one has to tab to often to select an application.. But you can just resize the right pane far most to the left and the finder will always remeber this behaviour. The latter also includes user generated menu icons. Since I rely on maximized windows, I also excluded all window borderings to maximize the viewport. simply delete all contents of your selected theme and reapply it. One Terminal is configured as a dropdown, so it is permanent accessible over the entire worksession until you force close it, also, built-in. Hotkeys for circuling workspaces and circle the current window within them as mentioned above. Different backgrounds for each workspace plus a translucent panel, so I can identify on which workspace I am via perceptual cognition. alt-rightclick lets you resize an window to any size. It is the perfect workstation and i highly recommend it. Everything is builtin and works on all major distros out of the box.
