LXQt (uses Qt) has replaced LXDE (uses GTK3), and is in the results. LXDE's latest release was Feb 2021, while LXQt's was a month ago. The creator of LXDE, Hong Jen Yee, has abandoned it for LXQt because he was dissatisfied with GTK3. I have to wonder how much more work will get done on LXDE.

> LXDE's latest release was Feb 2021, while LXQt's was a month ago. The creator of LXDE, Hong Jen Yee, has abandoned it I'm aware LXDE's creator has abandoned it but LXQt is laggy compared to LXDE, which does everything I need it to, so I will continue to use the latter. I am also fine with a lack of releases since for my purposes LXDE is complete and I find alternatives that receive more regular releases inferior. Future development work on LXDE seems likely to occur in the GTK3 port. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LXDE#GTK_3_version https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LXDE#GTK_3_version Although again, I don't consider LXDE to require much development since it is ideal as-is. Once the wheel is round there is no need to add corners just to say it is being developed.
