Right now, I'm using the version of Xfce included with Xubuntu 13.10. It's fairly lightweight, and I like the menu system dropped in Ubuntu 11.04. I have a "dock" on the right of my screen with my most used apps, like Firefox, VLC, and the likes, and I also have a few utilities there, such as a CPU meter and a weather gadget. I also have a button to open the file manager, and quick controls to lock the screen, log out, or power off the computer. Small, but quick and useful. I've tried other window environments, but I don't know of many outside of KDE, Xfce, GNOME2, GNOME3, and Unity. I'd like to give Cinnamon a try, but I managed to break an install with that, so that kind of turned me away.
