It is not user friendly because it does not integrate like Gnome and KDE. IceWM is a nice WM but for full desktop enviornments Gnome and KDE currently reign. Not because they work like windows but because things like mime types, hot key mapping, accessability and other things that the average geek could live without but the average computer user can't are integrated into the enviornment. That along with HIG's make for a more streamline interface. Of course this is at the expence of some speed and diskspace. In fact I can't go back to not using a DE. The little details make them great to use. The nice thing is advances in the two major DE's filter down to enviornments like IceWM and I heard Rox rocks.
