Odd that you use CDE (I had limited interaction with Exceed on a Sun
system years ago) but you don't get along with KDE. Although Plasma5
brings a totally new desktop, I've quite liked plasma4 for the last few
years - I'm sure the transition up (which I've yet to accomplish) will
take a bit of getting used to.

Have you tried out the Mate or Cinnamon desktops as made popular by Mint
at all?! Just out of curiosity!
