XFCE just can't stack up against KDE now

I've used XFCE for years, but the major changes in current made me want test Plasma5 (again). After a few weeks of really trying to appreciate KDE, it's hard to go back to XFCE. KDE is just better. It doesn't seem to chew up more memory (maybe less), it doesn't run slower (maybe faster), many bugs have been squashed, it looks better, it's more configurable...

Meanwhile XFCE just seems to be stuck. And that irritating bug that broke ALT-F1 as a shortcut to open the pull-down menu is still there. And probably will be until hell is frozen.

I'm sad to see it go, but right now it's not cutting it.
