I think this is a very, very poor argument.  But iyou are not alone however.

I haven't read any rants in this thread (well, maybe one) but I have seen a
lot of ignorant whinging.

There has been a vocal minority that asked, "Why change from GNOME 2?" or
some other variant of that statement.  But it appears that these people
neither understand why we made a decision nor have any understanding of XFCE
and how similar it is to GNOME 2.

So, the "rants" are ignorant protestations about change.  This has no
reflection on XFCE.

I challenge you (not just you aYo, but everyone) who thinks XFCE isn't
"super" or good or isn't GNOME 2 to actually try it.  Try it for a week.  A
day, even.


If someone can use XFCE and then provide a good fact based argument for not
using XFCE *OR* can provide a viable alternative we would very much like to
hear them.  I mean that sincerely.

What I don't like, appreciate, or find useful is ignorant whinging without
providing any reasons, facts, or alternatives.
