You mean using applications from other DE hints some people to use
that other DE instead? And XFCE task manager is much better than LXDE
one too. It seems there are too few people in LXDE project but I'm not
sure if XFCE has a lot of developers. Do we have a chance to get some
people in our camp?

I know nothing about lxrandr as I have zero use for it. Lxappearance
looks fine for me as openbox settings editor. What is bad with it?

I'm sure it is an advantage. But we should make it possible to be an
integrated desktop if appropriate applications are gathered together as
well. What we need for that?

Does XFCE evolve fast? I'm not sure. And yes, we're still lacking man
power to develop, and QA too. I don't know what to do with that. If you
have some ideas then let try them.
Thank you very much for observations!
With best regards.
