XFCE vs KDE
I'm sold to KDE's plasma desktop! I've been using it for over 2 months or so and so far it's been a pleasant experience. I've used XFCE from the day 1 I started using Linux, but I have to say that plasma is such a great DE. I logged to XFCE few days ago and realized how much clicking I do in comparison with plasma where I barely use the mouse since I've configure it in a way that I can do pretty much everything wthout it. I'm not saying I'm leaving xfce for good since I like it being simple and smart but truth is that with plasma my wokflow's improved a lot. Regarding software I think there's really not much difference since I'm using pretty much the same ones I use in xfce; chromium, clementine, vlc, claws-mail and haven't noticed any boost in performance.
Specific KDE vs XFCE4 software, well that's really a total different story.
dolphin vs thunar; I think both are great file managers and both do have some unique features to make life much easier.
panels; I think plasma wins here; windows' buttons place and behave more "cleanly", maybe that's not the right word but can't think of any other to better describe it.
menu; again, I think plasma wins here: plasma menu search features are way far much more advanced than those of xfce which are quite limited to say the least.
konsole vs xfce4-terminal; this is just like dolphin vs thunar, they both are great tools with unique features to help users get the job done efficienly. However, I do find xfce's to be more friendly when it comes to set it up, at least for the first use; even if users have never used a terminal they'll find it easy to configure, I think.
kwin vs xfwm4; again, plasma wins here: kwin offers much more control over windows, i.e configure the keyboard to do whatever you can think of; raise, hide, switch between, open, close and more. Also, it appears to improve graphics performance by using opengl while xfwm4 uses xrender.

Well, I just wanted to share some of my experience so far with plasma. IMHO, I think KDE's plama desktop will be such a great addition to Linux Lite and will make it even better; more appealing to its target audience being more windows-like UI as well as to others.  Also, If I may say so, will make LL a big contender in the distro universe, which it is already; top 20 ALWAYS at distrowatch, which isn't a small thing when you think how others go up and down week after week while LL remains there among the top 20 distros, not that it matters that much but then, let's all be honest, it kind of does. Smile
