 Not quite.
 Some of us found Gnome-3 to be incredibly annoying.
 Unless, of course, you're running it on a "smart" phone.

 We don't like the "active" corners, need to "swipe" and such.
 XFCE is packaged with CentOS-7, else we'd probably have done FVWM.
 Once the install is done, you can choose either during boot-up sign-on.

 As far as availability of system resources...
 Irrelevant, so that was never a consideration.
 Remember, linux, any OS running over linux, is not windows !
