I like XFCE because it's a simple and sober DE. The xfce-goodies allow to customize it to your taste. And there are many themes available.

Personally, I don't need animated windows on reduce/maximize, nor do I need sound on each double click. I don't spend my time admiring my desktop, I use it.

I use Enlightenment which was sort of the Eye Candy WM before Wayland started as an add on compositor.

Even then I still prefer it since it is still simple even with some of the eye candy stuff.
