The thing is, the only thing that makes a computer pleasant to use, as opposed to merely functional, is that "desktop environment".

How come? All I see is loads of unnecessary fluff.

I for one find xmonad & co extremely pleasant to use even if there’s a slight learning curve. I really don’t see what Cinnamon, Gnome & co. have to offer (except to users who aren’t very technically oriented, who’d probably be more productive on OS X or Windows anyway)
