Xfce, anyone?

Hey guys.

Any of you using Xfce on their openSUSE install? What’s the experience like? Is it working properly?

What discourages me a little is that there is only one developer, it seems :confused:

Regards.

I have it installed, but I mostly use KDE.

When I login to XFCE (not very often), it seems to work well.

There seem to be quite a few people who switched from Gnome2 to XFCE, because they did not like Gnome3.

I use XFCE as my desktop of choice, and it works quite well.

Absolutely, that’s my case. I was a gnome user for many years, till
gnome 3 came about. I can not work with it, nor with kde 4. Yes, they
are both good desktops, if you like all those new features, and you are
prepared to learn a whole lot of new methods and tricks.

I prefer a simpler desktop with the features I need; what I need is
powerful applications, the desktop itself is mostly irrelevant.

In fact, I use both KDE and Gnome applications on XFCE. XFCE is GTK
based, and it uses some GNOME services.

Unfortunately, the gnome devs have (intentionally?) changed some things
so that they can not be reused in XFCE - for instance, the bluetooth stack.

Do you use pulseaudio with Xfce?
