It's been nearly 18 months since the last major Xfce release - Xfce 4.4, to be exact. Xfce 4.6 was supposed to go final this month, but the Xfce team didn't meet the deadline. Instead, they released the first alpha release of Xfce 4.6, and Phoronix summarises the most important changes, including a number of screenshots.

I also think resource heavy == bloated in the public's mind, and in a lot of geeks minds. I don't find Vista bloated, I find it runs great on a dual core box with 2G of ram. You find that it is bloated. It's all about perception.
True.
But again - if you look at the (?) translation:
Bloated == a lot of useless features that hinder performance. (Perception)
Resource hog == Uses a lot of resources. (Measurable assessment)
Calling Vista bloated is, as you said, a matter of personal opinion that's tied to what-ever OS you use as reference.
Calling VMWare a resource hog is a matter of observation. (E.g. my VM host is currently bust chewing ~500%/800X CPU time and ~5GB of memory...)
