I used Xfce for years, love it, but yeah, it has a few deficiencies. Start by trying LXDE. I think it's better than Xfce in every respect except difficulty with multiple panels, and the slow mouse. Openbox is great if you don't need a panel. dwm and I3 are wonderful if you like slim tiled interfaces. If pretty is what you want, why not use Gnome3? Yeah, it's a whole different kind of animal, but I've seen it used by a guy who understood how to use it, and it can be very productive and very pretty. You know, so many people believe that the distro and WM/DE are a package deal, which is why everyone fled Ubuntu after Unity. There are zillions of outstanding WM/DEs to pick from, no matter what distro you choose.
