I like XFCE, though if you have a high-resolution monitor (maybe 1440p or 4K), it seems XFCE's scaling isn't the greatest.  I don't think it offers fractional scaling (you could do 2x scaling with it, but then everything could look too big).  I gave XFCE a try on my main PC, but I found that Cinnamon looked better, and I think KDE Plasma looks even better.  Also, it seems KDE Plasma is able to scale some applications that still looked small & hard to read in Cinnamon, such as Zoom (for online video meetings).  At least, it seems that way in my experience.
