    “KDE Plasma offers a more native development experience for the team and therefore it is easier to maintain. This is the main and only reason for this switch”

    As a user I switched from KDE to XFCE, and found it to be an improvement. But I’ve never done any development involving Xfce.

        Well, they’re both pretty good.

        Xfce starts off closer to the way I like things and requires less messing around with the config to get it all the way there. It changes less frequently, which I appreciate. It uses slightly less memory, seems to go wrong less often, and has fewer things I have no interest in like ‘kwallet’ or whatever. And I appreciate what seems to me its more approachably modular nature, which made it very easy for example to replace the “screenshot” command with one that does exactly what I want (which is just take a shot of the whole screen and write it to disk in a place of my choosing without bothering me about it.)
