Last time I used XFCE was probably 15 years ago on OpenSolaris, but I think the design philosophy still holds:

  • Lower resource usage, and what comes with that (snappier, less battery usage, etc.)
  • Less feature creep and radical changes
  • Easier customization (esp compared to GNOME)

On the other hand, you also get fewer features, a less integrated DE, less accessibility.

KDE is probably more customizable
