What is your favorite FreeBSD GUI to use. I am looking at WindowMaker, KDE, and GNOME right now. Any preferences or screen shots out there?

Thanks,
Jason

try adding .org to each of the above window managers, and within 1 or 2 clicks, you can get to screenshots.

What's keeping you from trying all of them?

Nothing really, but I'd just like to know what most people are using so that I'm not wasting my time learning an obscure GUI just because I like a couple of oddball features. I've already grabbed the sort press release photos of these GUIs, but I'd like to see what people have done with them outside the standard release sorta thing.

Use what you're comfortable with, not what somebody else is comfortable with... program applications to one of the standard desktops (ie. KDE or GNOME). I've just recently taken for using xfce. Performance and memory footprint is MUCH better than GNOME/KDE.

There are lots of choices out there. The reason for this is so people can find what they like the best. Just try a bunch of them and use whichever you prefer.
