XFCE is lightweight (low system requirements and resource usage) and stable (in the sense it does not do crazy changes, it stays relatively calm). And the modular approach by design also speaks to a lot of people. And also its from usability standpoint easy to use without getting in your way, but still customizable; kind of like KDE meets old GNOME. Its definitely more reasons to use XFCE than just a theme.
