I agree I like the way the default apps are, I like the minimal number
of included applications because you can choose what you like. As
previously stated a lot of people run xfce instead of gnome because of
how lightweight it is and I think after Gnome 3.0 debuts we will see an
influx of people trying xfce for the first time and we should give them
our very best.
