I have for the first time in 4 years not been in a race to install a new Ubuntu distro. I detest Unity and even UbuntuStudio Natty which sensibly has kept GNome 2 is not as fast as UbuntuStudio Meerkat. No compiz in Gnome3 means Gnome3 is a NO for me. I really can not imagine my workflow without it. It has been a defining factor in the slick workflow for UStudio. XFCE - I have no idea about but it was super we would not be all having these rants. I fear I will be sticking to 10.10 - truly a perfect 10 for the foreseeable future. The future for the moment looks very bleak - It seems we are now having our VISTA moment in Linux.
