I got introduced to it via Fedora for arm.  With ONLY 1Gb on my 
Cubieboard2, it is nice that the desktop does not eat up all your 
memory.  Particularly when I am only running with a SD card (I do have 
sata drive builds as well).

So I am more using Xfce and might even do my F21 beta on a notebook with 
it as well.  Skip gnome all together on the next upgrade.
