hmm I use KDE (latest) with indexing disabled, akonadi disabled, 3d desktop effects disabled
it seems very similar to LXQt and the project it replaces when it comes to resource usage and useability, except it is more mature and support a few more things.
Thats basically what keeps me on KDE. I would think KDE should disable akonadi and stuff by default personally - its super useable without all the heavy weight "crap".
Alt-F2, konsole and kwin basically are the reasons I use it.
Here's an example, too: I can tile my windows on any desktop i want with kwin without sacrificing non-tiling windows. I can even mix tiling and non-tiling. I dont have to remember 20 shortcuts for this, it works with the mouse too. Basically, its seamless.
(Thats also why I use it over awesomewm for example)
