Wow.

It seems that desktop environments and window managers are like "standards"
-  "the good thing is that there are so many of them".   :-)

Well, then:  which DEs and WMs are MOST likely to be still around (and have
major usage and development) in 5 years?  In 10 years?

And which are LEAST likely?

I use i3 with xfce4 session, It took me a while to figure out, but in the
session and startup dialog for xfce4 you canchoose a display chooser on
login, I disable all xfce4 sessions except xfce4-panel and xfsettingsd,
install i3 with urxvt and all the plugins for urxvt (tabs, perls etc). In
my ~/.cache/session I have the sessions xfce4 and i3 beneath eachother.So
now when login from tty, the display chooser appears (when checked in xfce4
session and startup manager)  with i3 or xfce4 as wm.The xfce4 is only
xfce4, the i3 is in combination with the xfce4 whisker menu, and 2 panels
with mainly xfce4 features.
Also took a while to make the i3 config as I want, but to be honest, with
this setup I am 10x times more productive.Switching workspaces, with dual
monitor setup , the second monitor almost feels as overkill.Especially with
laptop or 1 screen, things are super.
So for me i3 and xfce4
