Maybe they have other goals.

Enlightenment is objectively the best DE.

i say this without trolling.

>>835690

you're trolling by not specifying 0.16

>xfce

Because openbsd wants it to not be a botnet for legacy applications

>MATE and Cinnamon

They are already merged somewhat and botnets because of gnome

>LXDE

GTK2 based and light but based on a flawed Xorg server model and gtk2, enough said.

>>835661 (OP)

is FLTK or TCL+TK a better option than GTK+?

>>836597

FLTK

because xfce is the best one and it should be the focus

>any mainstream DE

>garbage video player

(not mpv with simple gui)

>garbage file browser

(not Dolphin)

>garbage image viewer

(not feh)

>garbage titlebars in firefox and chromium

>redshift is not installed by default

>no day-night color scheme transition

(enjoy your blinding white windows at 10 pm)

>terminal emulator comes with raster fonts in 2018

Why do hey keep doing that? Is it so fucking hard to pick upstream programs best of their kind and wrap around singe UI guideline? Why should I use %DEname%-shitware written by pajeets instead of efficient and lightweight programs by devs who dedicate themselves to their own project?

I do support bringing LXDE/Openbox pipe menus to Xfce/Xfwm4, I think it's fucking crazy that Enlightenment is basically the only other desktop environment that has seized upon this great idea. MATE and Cinnamon however bring nothing to the table that Xfce doesn't already have at this point.

LXDE's PCManFM file manager is also pretty dank, but it's missing that nice custom actions features that Xfce's Thunar has.

You can't make something that's light enough to replace LXDE and pretty and featureful enough to replace Cinnamon.

>>836676

That's where LXQT comes in. You get your custom commands in pcmanfm-qt. And I don't know about features as I have never used cinnamon. But it probably has most of them so check it out.

>>836677

Go use cinnamon. Study the way it looks. You have no idea.

>>835661 (OP)

>Cinnamon

>lightweight

Abundant keks

Why don't you send the developers an e-mail if you really want to know?

>DEs

Just use full featured stacking WMs like fluxbox/icewm.

>>836810

Features.
