Check out Elementary OS and their Pantheon DE for consistency. One of the few distros that actually has (sane) designers onboard and adheres to the outline set by those designers.

Last weekend, a friend of mine asked me to "wipe his laptop". When i asked him why, he replied he had viruses, it was slow etc. After asking him what he used it for he said "web and nothing else". He agreed to try something new and I installed elementary OS for him. First install i'd done. After 21 years of linux experience i have to say it's a really sweet desktop. He was super happy and couldnt believe how "fast his laptop was". Hats off to the elementary OS people. Its a sweet system.

Has anyone gotten the Pantheon DE running on other distros?

It works on Arch, but needs some tweaking. I tried it a while ago but decided I didn't like it so I don't know the current state.
