DragonFly GUI desktop at work - not bad at all

just use windows manager like cwm or fvwm2+your own configuration.
I for example use my 9 year old .fvwm2rc which results in cwm-alike 
environment.

it's really easier to just run program you need (like openoffice writer, 
mail client, gimp etc.) instead of running bells and whistles like Gnome.

I assume you need workstation (==computer to do actual work). Gnome nor 
XFCE nor KDE doesn't help in doing actual work.

Check it out how is it to work normal way.

tools like youtube_dl would make your life better - download and then 
play. And keep interesting movies on your disk so they will not disappear.

cannot help without any precise information.
