XFce looks nice, it's very functional and easy to use, it's very fast, and uses minimal memory. I like using it on older hardware. On the machines I've used XFce (as well as KDE and Gnome) on, it used on average 50 megs less of memory than KDE and Gnome.
With people complaining about the bloat of KDE and Gnome, and with other "lightweight" window managers looking very spartan, XFce is a great alternative.
Another nice thing about XFce is that it's window manager/user interface make Gnome and KDE apps fit right in and look the same. By comparison, if you run KDE apps in Gnome or Gnome apps in KDE, they'll out of place with fonts being different, etc. Not XFce. With XFce, it all looks unified (except for the different icon sets of GTK+ and QT).
I hope more and more Distros feature XFce, particularily 4.2. XFce has a great future.
