It's not, it's a rock solid, slow moving desktop that emulates a familiar experience for every Windows user and dose so awesome, my dad couldn't use KDE or Gnome and XFCE is great too but far closer to that ancient description and harder to use than Cinnamon for most normal people, it's simply perfect for people like my Dad even compared to Windows!
Could you help me set whisker-menu to open on meta key release? This is default behavior on every other DE, yet seems completely unsupported on XFCE. It needs to explicitly be on key release, otherwise it breaks every single keyboard shortcut that relies on the meta key.
I'm glad there's discussion for it at least. This is a really annoying thing for me. Otherwise it pretty much nails most things for me. I have some other small issues, but those don't prevent swapping over to it. But right now it competes with dash-to-panel extension on Gnome for me, and Gnome is winning there. But once XFCE does have that, it's nice jumping to it for consistently, since you know your work flow won't change even from a year from now.
