I havent figured out anything that needs a desktop enviroment that
i cannot do without. And at the same speed.

File manager? I'm fast enough with the shell (and actually faster
than anyone i know who uses a filemanager).
Network manager? Hell! NO! wicd is enough for those cases where i need
dynamic configurations.
Same look and feel for all apps? That's what we have gtk and qt for.
Everything controllable by key shortcuts? Gnome cannot do that.

So, anyone please tell me what for i would need a desktop environment?
