		i80and on Jan 17, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Xfce 4.8 released I first tried Xfce 4.2 way back in the day: I hated it. Xfce 4.4 came out, and for a long long time I was convinced that it was the best thing since sliced bread. I've since moved on to tiling window managers, but Xfce will always be special to me. Happy 4.8, Xfce!

I have been experimenting with Awesome tiling wm today, and it seems Awesome. What a day to switch from Xfce.

How much do you suppose is the popularity of tiling wm due to the increase in affordable screen area? I just ordered a 27" monitor for $300.
