The ability to use a variety of desktops is one of the great, fun, things about Linux . I switch to a different one dependent upon my mood. A few weeks on TWM, a few on Openbox, a few on E17, a few on Gnome 3, and right now a few on KDE (have a few others also but no need to get too lengthy. I get the work I need to do, done regardless of the desktop. Linux is about choice, choose what you want and go for it.
