It's funny watching a project like this progress over the years. You inevitably get the "it's slow and bloated now" comments, but if no new features were added you'd end up hearing people write it off as irrelevant.

The new BeOS-style 'deskbar' feature in 4.10 looks awesome. Pity X11 DEs and window managers don't have much of a concept of applications and associated windows in the way that MacOS/BeOS do.

Been an Xfce addict since the 3.x series and I still keep coming back to it.

Indeed, with the b5 window decorations and a little yellowish colour it gets as close to beos as it gets. Xfce is still the only workable desktop that doesn't get in your way.
