Historically, XFCE had more manpower and resources.
Started as a small project, growing slowly, and finally became a major DE.
XFCE even underwent some complete rewrites.

It may not be about having an integrated desktop or manpower or even
comparing with the many features of other desktop environment. Maybe it
would be better to have a specific objective and then use that for
marketing and for responding to questions. I'd suggest that the

Well, I had a quick look at it, it probably needs some work make it work
again (new Vala, get ride of waf, maybe udisk2 migration ...). It's

Hi, I think that integrating the launch and task manager applets into
something
similar to what windows 7 offers would be of great appeal, I already
started to
work on it and will probably issue a first version soon.
In the first version the launch buttons will just be hidden when there's

Hi,
XFCE is much older than Lxde is, therefore it benefits from many more hours of
work on

I believe the goal is to have it dual compilable - GTK2 and GTK3. At
least most of packages (libfm/pcmanfm, lxpanel, gpicview, lxappearance

Hello!
I have an interesting question. It happened somehow that people in
debian-devel mailing list talks about XFCE as only viable alternative
based on gtk2 (since MATE isn't good enough in some aspects) and never
mention LXDE. Do you have any opinions why it could be? Is the XFCE many

I may be too late with this message but there might not be a need to
reformat the card. You see, unlike Windows, Linux has a trash bin not just
