Hi Scott,
Your opinions are noted and they are valid. I never claimed that XFCE was no
good - just that I had never used it and there were probably good reasons
why it was second best to Gnome2.
I assure you and everyone who has reservations towards XFCE: it is quite
the same as Gnome2 and can be configured to mimic it near to 99%. It
even offers some features, Gnome has dropped like switching Desktops
with the mouse wheel on any place on the desktop and some more options
for configuration.
I use Gnome in Ubuntu and XFCE on Fedora on a dayly basis and I hardly
notice the differnces (there are some inconveniences in Gnome, I can
feel 1-2 times per day...)
Plus: Gnome2, XFCE, KDE have more or less the same basic features that
are the ones the user is confronted frequently. All these full-featured
desktops can be configured to mimic each other in a way that no user
without a lot of experience will notice the differences.
All of them can have a hierarchical menu in the upper left corner,
desktop icons, panels, a pager and a tray. And they suppport each others
panel-applets or have similar applets as their siblings.
I really think, that nobody, who has used Gnome2 the way a typical
normal user uses a desktop will be apalled by XFCE.

Having said that considering the fact that
going forward there is a need for a new desktop to be adopted - I acquiese
to the fact that you - the UbuntuStudio team have done your due-diligence
and have found this the sensible and viable option. I will take you up on
your suggestion and try Xubuntu to see for myself the possibilities therein.
I have converted the entire Flash development (and IT ) team in my Agency to
the Ubuntuside thus my interest in this is tremendous.

I think this is a very, very poor argument. But iyou are not alone
however.
I haven't read any rants in this thread (well, maybe one) but I have seen a
lot of ignorant whinging.
There has been a vocal minority that asked, "Why change from GNOME 2?" or
some other variant of that statement. But it appears that these people
neither understand why we made a decision nor have any understanding of XFCE
and how similar it is to GNOME 2.
So, the "rants" are ignorant protestations about change. This has no
reflection on XFCE.
I challenge you (not just you aYo, but everyone) who thinks XFCE isn't
"super" or good or isn't GNOME 2 to actually try it. Try it for a week. A
day, even.
If someone can use XFCE and then provide a good fact based argument for not
using XFCE *OR* can provide a viable alternative we would very much like to
hear them. I mean that sincerely.
What I don't like, appreciate, or find useful is ignorant whinging without
providing any reasons, facts, or alternatives.
