Why do you say that? I just hate jank, and KDE, Gnome, and XFCE are all janky as hell in their own infuriating ways.

PS: I haven't had any version of Visual Studio installed since about 2004.

Can you give examples of what you disliked in each of KDE, GNOME and XFCE?

Ahh, my mistake, I misread your initial comment to be about IDE's.

I would encourage you to try Gnome again. I use it everyday on a 7 year old laptop with Ubuntu, and it is impressively stable and smooth and a pleasure to multi-task with vertical windows.
