View Poll Results: Desktop Environment of the Year
Be interesting to see how many people selected window manager only if it were an option. I bet there's still a lot out there just running fluxbox or whatever with no desktop environment.
I'll go with KDE again. The two best file managers, Dolphin and Konqueror, are integrated in. It is highly configurable. However the default Kwin runs heavy on my 3 GB RAM box, so I prefer to use Openbox. KDE/Openbox works well with Slackware 14.1, but when I tried to use it in Kubuntu 14.04 and Debian 7, the applications disappeared from the KDE menu.
I prefer simple window managers but KDE is my preference for a full blown desktop environment. Of course, I'm hoping that Gnome will be good once again someday.
Distribution: Debian, Red Hat, Slackware, Fedora, Ubuntu

Enlightenment is probably the one nominee that is the closest to being in either category. As it started out as a WM (and without EFL still is closer to a WM in our opinion), we've decided to keep it in this category for now.
