> LXDE's latest release was Feb 2021, while LXQt's was a month ago. The creator of LXDE, Hong Jen Yee, has abandoned it

I'm aware LXDE's creator has abandoned it but LXQt is laggy compared to LXDE, which does everything I need it to, so I will continue to use the latter.

I am also fine with a lack of releases since for my purposes LXDE is complete and I find alternatives that receive more regular releases inferior.

Future development work on LXDE seems likely to occur in the GTK3 port.

Although again, I don't consider LXDE to require much development since it is ideal as-is. Once the wheel is round there is no need to add corners just to say it is being developed.
