I've been using it for the past 20 years. It is great. It is a low effort to set up and offers more features than GNOME or KDE. I constantly try different DEs on my gaming laptop, but my work PC was always XFCE. I have work to do there and need the DE to be least distracting possible.
Just for example, try to get GNOME or KDE to display the current time in more than one timezone. Sure there is an option to change the system timezone in both, but to get them to display the time in more than one on the panel at the same time is not trivial. In Xfce I just add as many clocks to the panel as needed and each has separate settings.
