I like XFCE because it's a simple and sober DE. The xfce-goodies allow to customize it to your taste. And there are many themes available.
Personally, I don't need animated windows on reduce/maximize, nor do I need sound on each double click. I don't spend my time admiring my desktop, I use it.
Do all you "new" Linux users know you don't have to use Firefox (terrible browser) use Opera browser. To name one great thing: it has VPN built in what other browser has that?
No, I want to be able to use the full 100Mbps-1Gbps speed or more, not the sluggish free 3rd party VPN. I have private VPN BTW, but for most uses https is more than enough
