Personally I consider the KDE the only DE that feels like it can compete with an OS like Windows or OSX.
It's just a lot of small things that add up to make it feel cohesive. Like how the file explorer has a built in terminal that follows the folder you're in.
A lot of people call that philosophy bloat. But honestly I've got a PC with 32 GB of RAM and a laptop with 16GB.
Like the Ubuntu Studio people have said 50MB more ram usage compared to XFCE isn't a bother at all.
