Ahhhh, XFCE. The first choice of the user skinning her/his desktop to look like CDE. :-P

But joking aside, congrats XFCE team. Choice is good, and it's good to have more choices than the mainstream KDE/GNOME ones. :-)

You jest, but I picked Xfce originally for exactly that reason. I had a job working on Sun workstations and grew used to CDE. There was no way I was gonna learn new keybindings and a new desktop for home.

I jest less than you might think. :D I actually picked up Xfce (XFCE?) for the same reason as you. At the time CDE was closed source, and I could grok Xfce enough to make my DE look like it. (Sorta.)

Of course now CDE's open and Free and Xfce has moved on from its original use case.

How time flies...
