Along with the not-quite-totally-free license, those other guys just look like XFCE or LXDE redone with some new branding. Nothing substantial there to bother about. And as for Q4OS and other OS choices, I will stick with Devuan, or some other Debian-type OS. It might be that in the future Devuan goes the same way as Debian, but I feel sure that there will always be a fork made by users who want to keep what works best for them. Once I got to this place (the perfect combination of OS and DE), I never could see a reason to change.
