This may sound silly, but ElementaryOS has revived my hope of a usable Linux desktop. And then some. It stays out of my way completely. And when I need it, it's intuitive in use while looking beautifully. It's simple, but complete. Solid, for most parts. Sure I have my gripes, and I've had to change my workflow a little, but the design and the 'out of your face' mentallity makes it worth it. Compared to XFCE, for me it is far more focused and complete. It feels like a whole. Compared to GNOME, it does not try to reinvent the wheel, but it is not afraid of change either. These guys cannot get enough good press.
