Of course they can. It only happens that gnome apps, at least for the categaories we are debating are more mature, are more user friendly (GNOME are usually serious about that) and have the advantage of being maintained by Ubuntu devs, thus SRU and other work is offloaded from Xubuntu. If the non-GNOEM alternatives have compellig advantages that outweigh these I am not opposing them, but so far noone is saying anything baout thse advantages. Promoting GTK=only or Xfce apps is not what Xubuntu is about. That is a developer oriented point of view. Users should be first so origin or developer of the app only matters indirectly, via the aspects I mentioned above. > > > > > > Xfce has far fewer developers and users than GNOME does.
