Yaaaaaaaay I didn't get excoriated for my choice. I love how configurable it is. Then again, I am an artist... we're persnickety :P
Luke: your thoughts, if any, on that new Budgie desktop environment? I tried it, it's not very configurable (yet?) and it doesn't work with the USB touchpad mouse on my homemade laptop (well, OK, it does on the lock screen but not once you're logged in, weird), but it's sort of attractive and I *almost* like the simplicity of it. (It's a *little* too simple for me, right now.) They've even got an official Ubuntu flavor, now -- I realize that's not exactly a glowing recommendation in these parts; I'm mentioning it entirely because of what it means in terms of popularity amongst the general userbase. Budgie might be one to "stick a pin in" as one of the talking heads on my TV would say... I think it's a potential rising star.

Luke, dare I ask your opinion on XFCE, which is my preferred DE...?
(MATE
is my second choice, followed by... oddly enough, that new Budgie
thing.)
phil introduced xfce to me a long time ago, i quite like its simplicity and the fact that they leverage the lower-level services of gnome but in a non-over-burdensome way. it's what i'll be putting onto the eoma68-a20 cards by default.
I'm using xfce as my main desktop. It works.
