I have been using CDE for just about as long as it has existed, or at
least I've been using it from around 1990 and I think that's about
when it came into existence.

I'm a C/C++/Java developer and our development and delivery platform
is Sun.

I run xfce on my home Slackware system.

To be quite honest since I minimise all the 'eye candy' as far as I am
able and do much of my work in rxvt terminal windows I don't see a
*huge* difference between CDE and xfce, they're both good at being
minimal and keeping out of the way of my actual work.
