Just my personal preference.
I switched to Xfce, but I'm still using applications from bloated DEs I
used in the past, IOW I still use KDE and GNOME apps.
By doing this I run into serious issues on latest Xubuntu. I guess the
apps are more up-to-date versions, than used on Debian.
On FreeBSD everythng was ok, but today finished an update and now I've got
some of those issues I know from my Linux installs, for FreeBSD too.
It will be very hard for me, but I'll try to drop as much GNOME and KDE
apps as possible.
We already have a KDE3 fork and IIRC 2 GNOME 2 forks, I guess a GNOME 3
fallback mode fork only will split the manpower and make it hard to
maintain package compatibility between the original DEs and their forks.
It's my personal opinion, that it won't archive anything good, since the
apps we like to use, depend to the policies of those bloated DEs.
2 Cents,
Ralf
