Thanks!
Yeah, I understand that it sort of sits in between. But what are those "additional" features compared to a more spartan DEs? More included apps / accessories? More access to the machine's properties (like, more GUIs for various options)? Something else?
I think you basically answered it right there.
It sits between. For the lxde people it would be more of a full fledged desktop, but not with the full weight of KDE or Gnome.
