xfce components are not entangled like the gnome-systemd-complex or kde applications depending on more of kde. So they're often useful if you want to sprinkle a few DE bits into an otherwise minimal WM.

You've perfectly articulated what I love about my current window manager (LXDE). Going to give XFCE another spin based on your comment.

I've used both Xfce and more recently tried LXDE. The latter was fine but more minimal and a bit lighter on resources. Now with the upcoming LXQt it might be a good time to switch back to Xfce to avoid the transitional pains.

It looks good as well, with a good theme. The default one just isn't very visually appealing.
