Ah! But E is a window manager while XFCE is a desktop/session manager.
I run XFCE with E16 as my window manager. They're not at all
incompatible and not particularly hard to switch to.
Yes, you can run "pure E" as a desktop manager as well, but I do like
having the panels ala GNOME < 3 and XFCE, while E gives me all the
workspaces I want with as many viewports wide an high as I want while I
still run XFCE and it's panels.
