CDE was the defacto desktop for many UNIX branded systems like IRIX, Solaris, HP-UX, and others until many replaced it with Gnome2, Xfce, KDE, and others.

Sun/Oracle replaced CDE with Java Desktop Environment back on Solaris 10 I believe when OpenSolaris was still being developed. I think Solaris uses a more traditional DE now though.

didn't it ship by default with Sun and SGI machines?

I remember using it
as well something else perhaps, but very similar on Irix

but well, I did switch to Afterstep as soon as it came out
