Comment on Xfce 4.16

Comments

Thanks to all contributors, I have found a home in XFCE after Ubuntu drop Unity.

I liked the design of Unity. But I'm honestly surprised you'd pick Xfce over Gnome if you liked Unity.

Unless, of course, your preferences just changed, or you didn't really like Unity either.

Easy, GNOME 3 has too much JavaScript bloat, broken workspace concept, requires extensions for simple stuff like collapsing windows into their header bar, a basic feature in almost every X Windows window manager since forever.

Neither Unity nor XFCE suffer from that.

Fair enough! (Aside: The performance is horrible, but I doubt it has anything to do with JavaScript being the language of choice)
