"Surely if you are using Arch you can just stick to Gnome2 / MATE packages ? Isn't Arch all about getting Linux just the way you want it ? I love linux mint with mint menu, gnome 2, compiz and docky it's the perfect desktop. Just the right balance of features, performance, usability and configurability. Tried unity, gnome shell, LXDE, XFCE and KDE but am always disappointed and end up back with this setup." - Adrian
