I have grown to really love Lubuntu because it strikes the perfect balance for older laptops. With a few tweaks, can look as beautiful though basic, and it uses RAM and CPU sparingly.

To me, it's a different distro because it only comes with the lightweight choices. (I found it very time-consuming to strip down Ubuntu, compared to tweaking Lubuntu upward).

The only minor criticism I could have is that it's a lot of work to make a Lubuntu theme from scratch, because of the many components to theme.
