I wouldn’t say they “hate” it though. XFCE-components used to be common additions to really lightweight desktops (IDK if they still are, haven’t looked into it in a while), because they can actually be used on their own (unlike most KDE stuff) while still being somewhat lightweight compared to Gnome stuff.
I think most lightweight desktops have invested in their own components or use LXDE. Xfce has some dependencies on Gnome tech, which I believe they pull in.
Who is hating Xfce? Besides the “lightweight” DE crowd.
The project doesn’t have a lot resources, so it’s behind on things. They do great work for what they have though.
wait, are you saying the lightweight DE crowd hates Xfce? what do they like then?
Yeah, it’s a “middleweight” DE.
LXDE, LXQT, Openbox, i3, Sway, FVWM. That sort of thing.

Yeah, it’s hyperbola. 🙂
