I used to use it, as it was one of the "slimest" desktops and I don't
want a lot of graphical glitz. Then I found and switched to i3, and now
I use LXDE as a backup, in case i3 takes a dump or something.

There are probably a lot more packages like this out there. I use MOC
for playing music, and I don't think it's been updated (upstream) in
years.
