.... about xfce.

[Wolf, Robert (ext)]

OK, I was hoping to use GNOME or CINNAMON with Lunar.
It seems this is not the preferred GUI thou.
XFCE seems interesting, especially because it looks simple from what I can see.
I programmed before using GTK+ and wxWidgets.
XFCE seems to be based on GTK+, so I believe I will be able to program for it easily.
(is this correct?)

So, yes, I have a question why is XFCE the preferred GUI for Lunar?
I have read that many of you are ex-XFCE developers.
Are there any other (historical perhaps) reasons, why XFCE?
What is so special about it?
Small? Fast? Beautiful? Ugly?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
