Also Sato works on a wide range of devices: if you have a 30" monitor with
a keyboard/mouse, or a 4" touchscreen, it is still usable.  It's not
optimal on anything, but it's functional on everything.  Put LXDE on a 4"
capacitive touchscreen and you'll probably have trouble getting anything to
start.

Obviously if you're happy to say "I target desktop users" then there's
meta-gnome, meta-xfce, and so on.
