By far my favourite non tiling window manager. It's not complicated, it just works.

@mntmn glad to see the only provably perfect desktop environment get even more perfect

Literally, my main blocker to Wayland has been... well it's been it crashing regularly for me on all DEs on my desktop, but I wasn't going to move seriously until either XFCE supported it or I had no other choice. Been using XFCE since 2008, and Wayland had an issue of a DEs being GNOME/KDE level heavy or tiling managers that require editing text config to add a lockscreen with nothing in between for a while, and that's XFCE's niche.
