What Is XFCE Still Needing to Become the #1 Choice?

“Although I have some doubts that XFCE is ‘so very much lighter’
than GNOME (GNOME 2.20 doesn’t take too much memory if you don’t

extra-light window managers (Fluxbox, Openbox, Blackbox,
WindowMaker, IceWM).

“So far, the applications, tools, accessories and applets that
come with XFCE are not contaminated with the Mono virus, and

XFCE is reasonably mature, and constantly improving, so it has all
the chances to become the mid-weighted Desktop Environment of
choice pretty soon…!”
