evince / xpdf

[Michael Schemer Ii]

Martin,

While I am not one of the developers for or a maintainer for Xubuntu,  
I offer you my perspective as a user.
 From a purely aesthetic standpoint, evince blends better with the GTK  
look and feel of XFCE, more so than xpdf, which has an older looking  
basic X look and feel.

Honestly, having just now tried to open a 14+MB PDF file in both, xpdf  
is much faster. However, evince feels more natural and a part of the  
environment.
