Liviu, I'm assuming you haven't heard of it. The reason is very simple - 
Gnome, as we know it, is gone. The replacements, both Gnome Shell and 
Unity, are still very fresh, under-featured and are attempting to 
provide a tablet-like experience. I wouldn't recommend switching to them 
to anyone using his/her desktop for work (I guess that's what Mihamina 
meant when saying "critical laptop"). At least for now.

I'm a long time XFCE user so the whole thing didn't really affected me 
that much. In fact, I see it as a big chance for XFCE to be noticed by 
mainstream users and distributions, who want a reliable, fully-featured 
and supported desktop for production environments. That's why I've 
decided to step in and do some work on remaining rough edges (in my case 
that was a panel in vertical mode). That's a pure calculation - with a 
relatively small effort you can make quite a big impact. If you feel 
capable enough, I recommend you doing the same.

Cheers,

Andrzej
