Gtk -><- Qt

So, while I kept using simple desktop environments for some years and although all those that I remember where not Gnome, but had a lot of Gtk in them, I am in doubt, now.
KDE always seemed "too heavy" and I have not really tried a Qt-version of LXDE... - does that still exist?

So this is my context. Can you recommend and explain to me, other simple desktop environments which are not forcibly Gtk, but still more like openbox, fluxbox, LXDE, XFCE or the like.., I do not know them all and do not tend to hop desktops for fun.
Edit: I re-read my above post and want to add: A desktop environment is not to be recommended because it is yours and you are content with it. It could not be the best ever either, because the best desktop environment ever is mine, not yours.
Maybe try to find a different argument ;)
TY.

| Moreover the inside of gtk is a dog's dinner, and the developers seem more intent on rushing ahead with non-backwards-compatible "improvements" and are now pushing forward with GTK-4 when the world has hardly absorbed the change from GTK-2. QT made a much better job of maintaining backwards compatibility, but the world seems to have decided that GTK is the future :-(. |
