In order to satisfy the common KDE or Windows user, you'd have to put
everything into just one panel. Please remember that Xfce is not only
written for people who MAY want to use it but also for those who DO use it.

As always, there are lots of different opinions about how the screen
should be organized - because it's a simple matter of taste (BTW, this
is how I like it: http://gezeiten.org/~jannis/xfce-screenshot.jpg).

Personally, I'd vote for some fresh colors (yellow, orange, green) and a
smooth GTK engine like Clearlooks. I'd also drop the current standard WM
style in favor of a less Visa-like looking one.
