I agree that 'GOSFUI' is a waste of time, but then I call a spade a spade, not an earth moving device ;-) Can we agree that different people will look for different things in a DE (or whatever you want to call it), some will be happy with just logging into a console, others will want a simple GUI, whilst others will want an all singing, all dancing GUI. Devuan needs to be aware of this and offer a standard GUI (XFCE has been chosen), but needs to offer a range of others wherever possible.
