What's wrong with xfce?

  Nothing. It’s just not “the height of desktop experience,” is all.

    What's the height of the desktop experience?

      Windows XP? Or 7? Both have a classic theme.

      It's a deep question. Some think that it is a bunch of virtual terminal windows (the idea driven to the extreme in the GUI of Plan 9), while some would feel at home with a desktop being kind of a picture of a real desk. Still others would prefer a desktop that consistently follows an object-oriented pattern: you click on an icon and get a list of the object's properties and methods. (Unfortunately, too many screenshots that are meant to showcase desktops that people like just show a flowery background image and a bunch of random windows on top of it containing a picture of a cat or some manga drawing.)

      Windows 2000 or KDE 3.5

    Aside from the default theme (which can easily be changed), what do you think it's lacking?

      Nothing. It's just that calling it "the height of desktop experience" would sound weird to way too many people. (Some, for example, think it's emacs.)

  Well it’s close but still not as good as Win2k was.
