I used Gnome (1, 2) for more than a decade! This weekend (*) I switched 
to XFCE and I can't believe how productive and beautiful it is. But 
lightweight at the same time, just the way I like it.

I spent better part of the weekend hunting and deleting about 500 
packages from my system, mostly countless gnome libraries I won't be 
needing anymore. \o/

Thanks for the XFCE and keep up the good work! I'm pretty sure it's 
going to tremendously gain in popularity in the following months.
