I personally prefer XFCE, though I'm also starting to get into
Razor-qt as well.

As you can see, GNOME also isn't very fancy at first blush.Now that's an understatement if I've ever heard one. LOL ...

In fairness to XFCE, I haven’t taken the time to really try and configure it the way I want, but for my day to day use, I find Mate to be the best of the bunch.
Call me crazy, but I just like being able to make things the way I want them and have them work in a logical manner. This stuff with Unity and Gnome 3 where I’m supposed to up and change everything about my workflow to suit some developers idea of how a ‘paradigm change’ should be implemented, is pure idiocy.
My desktop is not a tablet. My desktop is not a phone. My desktop is not a laptop. My desktop is not Scott Baio. My desktop is MY DESKTOP. Leave it the hell alone, so I can get my work done and stop putting obstacles in the way of updating my distros because of all of these effing braindead changes! ARGH! /end of rant. :-)

Wait, there’s more to linux than a CLI?

As a long-time Solaris user, I prefer KDE. I’m running Fedora in work as our Linux systems are all running Redhat.

I am a long time Linux user. Currently for work we are using Ubuntu genome. On my home laptop I have multiple distros installed.. Fedora, Mint, CentOS, OpenSusie, Ubuntu.
The Ubuntu 12.10LTS running on my old AMD Athlon dual core 64X2 has thousands of free apps, free OS updates and has long term support. Never needed Windows 8 or Mac OS mountain lion.

I’m using Linux Mint with MATE on my three-year old netbook with an ATOM N270 processor, runs real good.

Not a DE. I run FVWM under Gentoo. I also prefer text based browser and use lynx.

Kde, woot! Though they have a tendency to regress on some releases. Some idiots out there will still whine that unix/linux doesn’t have a gui...
