It's simple, light and has many features ... but within a major release themes got broken, xfce4-terminal doesn't re-wrapp lines, if you resize the window. Thunar, the file manager doesn't allow to split the window and requires Gnome's virtual crap to provide mount functionality and so on and so forth. I recommend to take a look at openbox (jwm is also not bad) and to use it with roxterm, lxpanel or fbpanel, and spacefm, IOW instead of using a desktop environment, just use a window manager. 2 Cents, Ralf
