I love xfce. It's lightweight, simple and modular. You can easily replace any of its components, which makes it very Unix-y.
But WHY CAN'T THEY FUCKING FIX THE SCREEN TEARING? They have -allegedly- added an option in the window manager's setting editor to fix it. But, while it has been reduced considerably, the screen tearing is still there. It's not too hard. Gnome does not have it. KDE does not have it. Why do they?

Install compton to fix it
what is compton.
also gnome and kde also have screen tearing.
Are you using an Nvidia card?
If so: wiki.archlinux.org
(For some reason the xorg config file stopped working for me anymore and I have to run this manually from the terminal after every login now.)
Just use kde xfce is dead
b-but you can't rice kde and look like a 1337 haxx0r in the Jow Forums desktop threads!
i3 was made for is for le Ep1c h4x0rs xdsxdd
I know that you can fix it by changing the compositor. But why should I? The default compositor should not behave like crap.
It's one of those things in life that you just have to accept.
not on my machine
While XFCE has a lot
I have yet to see a riced XFCE desktop that doesn't look like shit.
Mine looks decent.
I'll give it an 8/10 if you post your wallpaper.

There you go
Thanks. Have another one.
because it's free software and philosophy comes before usability. Also no one really cares about ui looks/performance on Linux. It's not a company selling a spiffy product. That's why every thing is customizable so you can do this shit yourself.
Eh I just stopped caring since it was so good everywhere else.
>lightweight, simple and modular
Who cares?
You can say the same thing about Windows 3.1 and it offers about the same.
This is not about having a fancy UI, though. I don't care about that, since it is irrelevant to the quality of a project. But not being able to watch a video by default without screen tearing has little to do with "looks", it's basic usability.
LXDE is better.
I haven't had screen tearing on kde for a long time. How old is your computer?
Windowmaker is the best WM anyone who thinks otherwise hasn’t used it.
