Xubuntu, because it stays the hell out of my way.

Things running in it: Firefox (personal browsing), Chromium (work browsing), a buttload of terminals, KeePassX.

I hope Xfce never pulls a GNOME/KDE and just keeps refining version 4 forever. When I hear the words "desktop" and "innovation", I reach for my revolver.

I also use Xubuntu and have no complaints. It's stable and unobtrusive. Xfce is the desktop for people who don't like to think about their desktops. As an added bonus, Xubuntu is the same underlying version of Ubuntu that my production servers use.

That last is our ironclad excuse for running Ubuntu rather than the corporate install of Windows 7 ;-)
