Con Depends too much on KDE
Even the programs/apps shipped with LXQt are from the KDE project. They don't have their own projects yet.
It's pretty similar to Budgie that depends on Gnome for almost everything.
@Con: Not quite true; very few KDE Plasman dependencies.
Con Unthemeable for usual users
As all Qt desktop environments themeing is hard since you need to know C++ , there is a sideway using qss however its not as powerful as GTK, Enlightenment or Windows theming.
@Con: Not quite true: using kvantum, LXQt looks like a charme.
Know any negative aspects of this option?

Con More lightweight than Xfce (correction)
LXQt is a little bit more lightweight than Xfce. In a clean Debian Buster install, it uses 326 MB of RAM (openbox as WM) resp. 331 MB (xfwm4 as WM) whereas Xfce is using 369 MB.
