It's hard to tell from first glance how resource intensive a program is. Any free RAM is wasted RAM so if someone pulls up an htop and judges based on that you shouldn't listen to them at all.
I have really convenient shortcuts to move a window to full, half, or quarter screen, and to switch between 4 virtual desktops, which makes using my laptop very comfortable. I tested i3 for a bit but I found I don't like auto-tiling, I want to control where everything goes and hide stuff I'm not using.
KDE fucking rules. I don't care how resource intensive it is, it looks fuckin steller and is infinitely customizable.

It's basically no more resource intensive than GNOME or Xfce. It's very efficient and has been at least since Plasma 5.
