Okay, I can agree that missing terminal may be an issue. But you can use
the one from LXDE just fine. I have yet to find a standalone Qt5
terminal emulator that's fully functional. There's KDE's Konsole, but it
depends on way too many frameworks for consideration.

To me, the power manager inclued with LXQt is rather a big improvement
since I run a laptop. But still, neither have a proper touchpad
configuration tool, so I have either to drive myself insane with the
insane defaults for touchpads (enabled while typing (FFFUUUUU!!), no
tap-to-click by default, no finger scrolling by default (srsly)) or bang
my head trying to figure synclient/syndaemon syntax and put that into
the startup script. And still, neither have a good Bluetooth solution
that works with BlueZ5. I suppose I could try and integrate KDE's
bluedevil into LXQt or find a port of Blueman for the GTK+ version, but
I haven't tried it yet.

I don't really know about the "looking" issue (I guess you mean the
default theme is not good enough for you), but I have KDE's Breeze and
Oxygen styles for Qt5, so it's rather pleasant and better looking than
LXDE. To be honest, I don't know what the default theme looks like.

As for Panel, I find it a bit better (maybe because of my default style)
when it comes to visual. In LXDE, buttons and text are way smaller, at
least on my setup - but then again I remember I have 5-6 desktops
installed, so when all settings get mixed up you get something worse
than hell.
