I played with SLED a bit in the last few days and I have to say that I really like the clean interface of it. Okay, the control cener seems to crowded, but other than that it surpasses Feisty UI-wise.
gnome-main-menu is a real pleasure to work with and the integration of Beagle is perfect.
Moreover I wish Ubuntu would replace Rythmbox with Banshee. It feels a lot more modern (have to admit this to be very subjective) and seems to get along faster in development.
To sum it up: I have been a Ximian/Helix fanboy back when they existed as a company of its own and have to admit that they did a great job reducing the Gnome desktop to a powerful yet intuitive and flexible tool. I wish Ubuntu would evolve in that way for the standard desktop. (I know you can tweak it to look like sled)
