Indeed. David has waxed positively about a number of lightweight DEs here in The past. As he suggested them I tried them. I didn't like them and found them difficult to work with, probably because of different expectations and habits. As such they _felt_ broken because they didn't work the way I was used to.
I actually have found David's documented exploration in e16 and e17 (to name one alternative DE) quite interesting.
Very much so; like you it motivated me to try it, not just one but on a number of occasions.
I also tried out e16/17 at his suggestion. I've used it before but dropped it for various reasons. Trying it again, I can see its merits, but it's not for me so I didn't continue with it.
Same here. One day, perhaps ... but its every bit as 'non trivial' as KDEX.
Perhaps David could be persuaded to submit a package that includes a configuration setup, menus, a few sets of decorations and wallpapers, a complete 'ready to run' that's more than just the distributed base. A 'this is how I think you should start' approach.
Generally, this would be a great way for those who enjoy tweaking and talking about tweaking to contribute their changes. By modifying or replacing kdebase4-openSUSE the complete default feel of KDE4 could be changed, exploring ways to satisfy those who disagree with upstream developers and the openSUSE KDE team's choices, and putting money (or at least time) in space currently occupied by a number of mouths. The OBS makes it easy.
