What do you like most about Xfce?
XFCE Has a simmilar interface, is somewhat-easily customizeable (in my current experience) and also has an appealing interface. XFCE runs blazing fast on my desktop, so if speed is an issue, XFCE all the way. The only real con is that as of yet I can’t figure out how to edit the whisker menu, but that will come with time.
