https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap My most anticipated development roadmap these days.

Haha, yeah. Once XFCE is fully wayland driven, I will probably be back on xfce.

From the link in the post to which you replied:

> It is not yet clear which Xfce release will target a complete Xfce Wayland transition (or if such a transition will happen at all).

Agreed, it's the only mainstream desktop with Windows 2000-era ergonomics, which I particularly like. I reluctantly use GNOME now for its better security.

Same here, it is either XFCE or KDE, when on GNU/Linux.

Ideally WindowMaker, but there is not much development going on there nowadays.

Does KDE not have that? I don't know a lot about this and have just been using whatever DE comes default. Gnome3 does seem like it's trying to be "different," and I remember Gnome2 being more normal.

KDE seems surprisingly decent now (I tried Plasma out the other day).

Personally, I'm still using Unity 7 on X11, but as that DE's project is now seemingly dead again, I keep looking for a replacement. This one also looks pretty interesting!

I would really like to find something that handles fractional scaling as efficiently as Unity/Compiz. That, the dash, and (I'm ashamed to admit) wobbly windows are what keep me using it.

No, KDE is kind of a mess and is far from the look and feel of classic desktop UIs.
