With the right amount of customization yeah it can look really fancy. I could be mistaken but I recall Elementary OS' Pantheon came from xfce/xubuntu originally.
However I'm still partial to KDE/Plasma personally as it does 99% of what I need out of the box.
That's the great thing about Linux though. It's exactly as bespoke and custom as you want to make it.
