XFce is a lightweight desktop environment for various UNIX systems. XFce is based on GTK+, a free and powerful tool kit widely adopted by many applications.Xfce embodies the traditional UNIX philosophy of modularity and re-usability. It consists of a number of components that together provide the full functionality of the desktop environment. They are packaged separately and you can pick and choose from the available packages to create the best personal working environment.

This is great, everything I need on my computer, no less, but no more, particularly no useless graphical gizmos ...
I can open Menudrake from it, and copy all the application shortcuts I need into Xfce meny bar.
It should have its place at the side of KDE and Gnome in all major distros.
A Truly Great Desktop

I have been using XFce for about 6 months now. It is fast configurable and easy to use. I like the way it does not try to be like Windows. I have deliberately made my desktop look Unixy - not a total CDE, Solaris and Motif lookalike but - enough to emphasize the likeness but with the sharpness of GTK. I have gone from KDE to GNOME to XFce over the past two years that I have been using Linux. I intend to stick with XFce.

Nice and fast peace of program. Filemanager works fine if you are used to use it but needs to be more intuitive.

Very nice, very stable.
Have not been able to figure how to make desktop shortcuts (like in Windows) or add extra drawers onto the toolbar (like OS/2). These two features would be really nice! Good work.
It's almost all that I wanted.

This is great!
This stuff just fits my needs!
But a few more things should be done.
For example I realy miss a function from the open file
dialog, that is it should handle alphanumeric keys in
the file list to position the focus onto the first file
starting with the typed letter.
That cute little xftree is a really usefull tool.
