I dual-boot Arch and Win7 mostly for gaming reasons. Prior to Arch, I was a Fedora user.
I use to use Gnome as my main DE as I found KDE ugly overall (not just aesthetically) and had less than stellar experiences with XFCE and others in the past, but Gnome 3, which is butt-fuck ugly in its overall demeanor, is the only supported Gnome version under the repositories I use. While I could put Gnome 2 on myself, I don't really care to since it's more work for something I don't care about than I feel the need to do. Been using XFCE 4 as an alternative, though, and I'm liking it well enough compared to my previous excursions. I suppose all of this is moot, though, as it's all just a temporary place holder until I set up something workable with OpenBox. I've just been too lazy/busy/distracted to do so and, well, I really do like XFCE 4.
