And I bet that's the last time you see that answer.

No. I vote for Rox as well.

Okay, so my prediction was somewhat inaccurate :p

KDE all the way

I like the simplicity of xfce, but I'm always going to feel more at home with gnome. I used to be a huge KDE fan, but opensuse converted me with their nice looking slab thing.

I picked Xfce because it has been making improvements last year and year before that with out sacrificing usability. It is also stayed simple while KDE has gotten more complicated. People may go with eye candy, but simplicity rules. GNOME is just blah. Xfce suits a better Desktop/Window manager for Linux than others because KDE resembles Windows and Gnome resembles Mac OS. LXDE resembles Windows too much.

I keep ending up in gnome or xfce. Just not all that happy with KDE. Except kmail is still is my primary mail program.

I voted XFCE as the best balance between functionality and weight. Well implemented in Xubuntu 9.10 and Mint 7.

Gnome

Xfce

no option for fvwm
 
my desktop environment--fvwm--not even listed, but suppose it is closest to xfce.

Gnome FTW!
Xfce is not too far behind though.

KDE is bloated and looks like a horrible Windows wannabe.

Gnome
 
Gnome. I also don't mind XFCE.

I hate KDE & CDE.

Never heard of CDE. I'll have to look it up.

I think he's referring to Solaris Common Desktop Environment

GNOME!

It's the perfect balance between being lightweight (enough) & fast & pretty. KDE is just too darn bloated, even if I customize it.
