I have always used fairly new and reasonably powerful computers, so that 
wasn't the reason I first tried xfce. But when I did I liked it. Looking 
around, as I said before, I found that xfce, when it was available, was 
normally not the main desktop manager for the distro, but it was 'also 
available'. Apart from everything else about Xubuntu, I like the fact 
that xfce is the only DM. Just the one thing to concentrate on.

And I also am not interested in all the glitz and bling that some of the 
heavier distros provide. Can't see the point myself. So I now use a new 
laptop which is quite powerful and Xubuntu goes like the clappers. As 
you said, why go anywhere else?
