> I certainly see a point when people switch to XFCE from Gnome or KDE. But what about if coming from the other side of the spectrum?

I think you basically answered it right there.

It sits between. For the lxde people it would be more of a full fledged desktop, but not with the full weight of KDE or Gnome.

Thanks!

Yeah, I understand that it sort of sits in between. But what are those "additional" features compared to a more spartan DEs? More included apps / accessories? More access to the machine's properties (like, more GUIs for various options)? Something else?

I have not tried LXQt properly or recently but I think both those and lots of applets.
