Depends on how you define "future-proof." Personally, I'm glad XFCE
hasn't gone the way of Gnome, so I see it as future-proof in the sense
that it's not likely to go "tablet crazy" like so many other things
have. So while you may call it dated, I call it relieving. Change for
the sake of change is never a good idea in my book.
