although i voted for Gnome, XFCE is also one of my favorites.

I haven't had the pleasure of using Xfce this year, for a good amount of time, so I will go with Gnome this year. I really was impressed when I saw it in Gnoppix and Ubuntu. Nice work.

though XFCE is nice and I keep hearing good things, I feel obligated to know a lot about KDE since that's the desktop many people are going to use when I drag them forcibly out of windows, heheh... I use it now and then but stay in fluxbox most of the time... I still enjoy seeing KDE get better every year and while a few nifty functions are missing, it blows the WinXP shell (Explorer) completely away.

I used to like XFCE, but Im a KDEer at heart.

I gotta go with KDE. I've been using it for years and it's never let me down.

Although I typically stick to WMs, when I have to use a DE I always lean towards Xfce.

KDE RULZ..........u can customize just anything in KDE. I have heard that in KDE 4 you will be able to change the earth's rotational speed from the KDE Control Center

KDE 3.3.1, it's finally stable. No more Konqueror crashing, no more system tray apps freezing my computer (that was KDE 3.2.1) Besides that, go KDE for its features and customizablity.

xfce4 all the way. no bloat gets my vote.

XFCE........faaaaast, customizable, easy on your resources,runs well on old and newer hardware.....plus I setup only the applications that I actually use. Don't need the kitchen sink

MY 2

Window managers are in the Window Manager Poll.

switched from kde to gnome to xfce in the last year, but am back to KDE.

Gotta go with good old KDE. It's just what works for me, good job KDE team.

It's toss up between XFCE and FluxBox. I chose XFCE since that's my favorite of the 2 this week.

I like the 2 of them because they're different then KDE and GNOME, which to me don't look like anymore then Windows Clones. However my experience with the KDE and GNOME is limited.

Now I had better go board up my house before the masses that I've stirred with that last comment come kill me.

KDE is the best.
XFCE 4 is also good.
