I don't think anyone suggested removing XFCE from Devuan. That would be
a grave error. I think they were just talking about what to crown as
the default window manager.

I've had this problem too, with Windowmaker and Fvwm. Catch 22: If only
I could read the screen, I could configure the fonts to be larger. If
only I could configure the fonts to be larger, I could read the screen.

There's a special place in hell for people who assume everyone has
their precise visual acuity. 9point lightgray font on darkgray
backgrounds. 8 point on a transparent background.

I know what you mean.
