I&amp;#x27;ve used Gnome, Unity, and KDE extensively. There is an incredible amount of work that goes into them sure but they are definitely not polished.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m the definition of UnixPorn junkie and customize my linux box to the hilt but even I have to admit when there is a benefit of standardization and the work the elementary people are doing.</text></comment>

OpenBox is clean.&lt;p&gt;I see that the project is continued as BunsenLabs Linux.
