</div>AFAIK this isn't true, but when Debian updated my GNOME 2 to GNOME 3 a<br>
long time ago, GNOME 3 and GNOME 3 in "fake GNOME 2" mode did need much<br>
more CPU resources, than GNOME 2 did need.<br>
<br>
Xfce4 and LXDE anyway do provide the common workflow, that is used by<br>
studios. I guess most engineers are accustomed to a workflow similar to<br>
KDE3, GNOME2, Win 98 se, Win XP etc..<br>
<br>
IMO both, Xfce and LXDE are very good to use and I don't miss that much<br>
of what I was accustomed to, when I used GNOME 2. I recommend not to use<br>
GNOME 3.<br>
