Louie, This is not about having a bar or not having a bar. Essentially, the Gnome desktop environment (Gnome2 or gnome-panels) as we know it will not be included in Oneiric Ocelot [1]. We are not ditching Gnome, it is being taken away from us. We need to find a different desktop environment. One thing we need to keep in mind however, Ubuntu Studio must use a desktop environment that is hosted in official repository because of the automated buildd system that creates the Ubuntu Studio ISO image. I feel that XFCE has more positives and fewer negatives that other desktop environments available. Ricardo has provided several of the positives, but I can post some of the others if anyone is interested. XFCE +1 from me.
