To be honest, on an emotional level, I do like LXQt more than my 
suggestion of LQDE.

It feels catchier and I think the lowercase "t" makes it more visually 
appealing than something that's purely uppercase.

So the upsides to LXQt so far are:
- LXQt feels catchier (even if, like me, you insist on pronouncing "Qt" 
as "cue-tee" because "cute" is "a little too cute" to take seriously.)
- LXQt looks nicer
- LXQt can act as a portmanteau of "LXDE" and "Razor-Qt"

...and the downsides are:
- The X in LXQt stands for X11 and Wayland is on the way.
- It's harder to concisely explain what it means (compared to a pure 
acronym like LQDE)
