I'm currently running mostly Xfce myself and feel that it adds to the pleasure of using the environment.  It's a first release.  I'm calling it alpha quality until more get to test it in different environments.  The features it currently  adds are per-workspace and randomized wallpaper, window tiling, window alignment to corners, center and edges, smart application launching with limiting to one instance and assigning to a workspace, and more.  It has automatic (command line) setup specifically for Xfce.  It has a plugin Python framework for easy expansion.  I'd love for people in the Xfce community to check it out and particularly for developers to create new extensions.
