I do agree that we do have most of their functionality
in some form or another, but the download manager is
interesting, and wallpaper+menu could fill the role of
xfdesktop.

A GUI for an archiver is badly needed. Most people
seem to think that WinRAR is the best archiver in the
world :)

I believe that most of them are quite new, Rox seems
to be rather active these days. I believe they mainly
use another packaging system (Zeroinstall), that's why
they don't have .debs.

I'll try to see if I can do something.
