TLDR: Old habits die hard.
I can co-sign that. I had several low grade laptops in a row that would choke on KDE and the like, almost as bad as on Windows. So I just went for a light window manager instead of the big memory hogs.
Now I have a fairly current, capable machine, and guess what? The light WM is still outperforming any DE, and I never bothered changing that habit.
