I tried xfce some time ago, but i quickly dropped it again:
they key bindings configuration is stupid. Really stupid. I couldn't assign they key the way i wanted them to be. For example, i couldn't assign a keybinding to switch to desktop 10. Any you could only assign one key to each function.
This "function = key" mapping, it's just stupid. It really should be key=function.

About this "graphical installer" thing:
WHO CARES?
I do not want a graphical installer, especially when it's not even capable of telling me which dependencies i need.
The Debian package maintainers provide up-to-date packages on people.debian.org...
Apparently, building proper packages automatically (for the x>10 architectures debian has) is a PITA due to all the dependencies.
