    Just try the live CD and see for yourself.

    XFCE preserves the classic desktop, just like gnome2 and kde3 used to be. It also happens to be lighter than gnome/kde, while remaining friendly.

    Nowadays there is a push to destroy the classic desktop experience, and make it more like cell phone/tablet uis, and some even require heavy graphic effects.

    LXDE is a good alternative, if your machine has less than 512m or ram.

    May go back, or move to Kubuntu,Xubuntu Bodhi,or Fedora. I have plenty of time to decide.

    I decided to downgrade to 10.04 and stick with it. Only major thing I had to do was install 3.0.4 kernel from Ubuntu kernel mainline to be able to play WoW on Wine without distorted graphics.

    I have been using 11.04 without issue. I like unity. I went back to gnome a few times and found myself missing unity. You can really run any DE you want to in ubuntu so I don't see what the big issue is. you can upgrade and just install any DE you want. I would rather do that than use older code that is going to be no longer supported.

    I was thinking of doing the same.

    I'm sticking with 10.10 till 12.04, then I'll rethink about it.

    10.10 has another 6 months of support in case you haven't noticed. Also it won't blow up after the support ends.

    I'm moving over to 11.10...I want to learn how to develop for GTK, and GTK2 just looks like a mess.
