That's interesting. I have been planning switch to Debian/XFCE on next computer / upgrade, from Xubuntu, so I do hope that XFCE will at least keep in good shape on Debian.
But as default, I can not tell what would be best, other than that Gnome 3 indeed seems to have improved lots lately. Tried the Gnome "classic desktop" version of it recently, and found that I could definitely stand it, although XFCE feels a little better to me.
One upside over XFCE is that Gnome 3 looks a lot better by default than XFCE. XFCE is easier to configure, and so can be made to look even better, but default looks has some significance too, as it means less modifications needed for those who just want to install and get stuff done.
- macco 12y agoI tried Gnome 3 too lately, and I am kind of thrilled by the experience. The whole desktop is very thoughfully crafted. The creators really care about the user experience.
- alex_duf 12y agoYes, they managed to keep it dead simple (which is a very hard task). Some people don't like it, but I personally love the lack of noise.
