Hi there :)

Thank you for taking the time to read and reply my email. I really
appreciate that.
Also, I'd like to thank you, yet again, for sharing your opinion with
Lubuntu Community (Team Members and Users).

You have indeed highlighted a very important point when you mentioned:

*Lubuntu is not ready for inexperienced users*


Regardless whether I agree or disagree with the above opinion of yours, I
would like to let you know that there is already a project that does take
care of those inexperienced users and explain everything about the basics
of Lubuntu from A-Z and after that, it is their own call whether to carry
on or not :)
That project called:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/Lubuntu101

It is true that LXDE and all its components have not yet reached the final
version (AKA version 1.0). However, despite that fact, from real own
experience of mine and many others, I can assure you that Lubuntu is ROCK
SOLID indeed and when I say solid, I do mean it :)
I've been on direct contact with users and as of now, no one is
angry/upset/unhappy with Lubuntu. Even if there is one exists, be sure
after he/she understands what is going on, he/she will change his mind and
turn to be a happy user :)

No, I'm not saying that because I love Lubuntu, everyone knows what I'm
talking about is true.
BUT ... it actually depends on 'YOUR needs'. Some may don't like Lubuntu
for whatever reason (nothing is prefect - no one disagree with this rule)
and obviously Lubuntu is not for them so it is better to look at another
system.

Now, here we come to the cross road where I have to disagree with you.
The systems you mentioned are NOT as 'simple' as Lubuntu ;)

Lubuntu is NOT about lightweight, it is about simplicity and simplicity is
exactly what inexperienced users need :D


Thank you!
