I wouldn’t say they “hate” it though. XFCE-components used to be common additions to really lightweight desktops (IDK if they still are, haven’t looked into it in a while), because they can actually be used on their own (unlike most KDE stuff) while still being somewhat lightweight compared to Gnome stuff.
I think most lightweight desktops have invested in their own components or use LXDE. Xfce has some dependencies on Gnome tech, which I believe they pull in.
wait, are you saying the lightweight DE crowd hates Xfce? what do they like then?
Yeah, it’s a “middleweight” DE.
LXDE, LXQT, Openbox, i3, Sway, FVWM. That sort of thing.

Yeah, it’s hyperbola. 🙂
