Stability of Xfce as a project

Hey guys.

Would like to know, as i haven't been following Xfce for a while until recently, but i see there's not much being written about it.

How's it standing as a project? Will it be able to maintain and go forward as it used to?

Regards,

(p.s. i see the 'big boys' getting regular funding, and that's what concerns me most about Xfce)

So far after two years, all my 'issues' i have had with xfce were really 'MY issues' and not environment ...
