I haven't had trouble with Gnome3 on both a real laptop (low power Compaq with Intel graphics), and also on VMware virtual machines (although there were some hoops to jump through to avoid fallback mode for Debian 7). Debian 8 works seamlessly on VMware. I also got Gnome3 running in the Jessie beta on a 9 year old desktop, without issue and it seemed to perform reasonably well. I can't compare to XCFE since I haven't used that, but I do like Gnome 3.
