DE is for Desktop Environment, your normal Ubuntu uses a fork(made from) of Gnome DE developed by Canonical(Ubuntu parent) called Unity DE, which is heavy on the resources side, i.e. uses more RAM, CPU for bare minimum operation.
Xfce is one of the middle-weight DE's which uses lower resources than Unity/Gnome/KDE .
This UbuntuStudio Distibution(Distro) is oriented towards people who are into creating audio work, Graphics work etc. hence uses a low-latency kernel which is a patched kernel suited for these operations specifically.
Yes, I have been using UbuntuStudio for a year nearly and am more than happy with it, though i prefer Gnome DE and install it on top of Xfce, which comes with stock UbuntuStudio. I am into audio recording, playing jamming tracks, making songs & have found UbuntuStudio to be great to work with, with Xfce or Gnome.
Suggest you read a little about different DE's available in Linux & choose one or at least try UbuntuStudio & find out for yourself, I guess you will like it.

Thank you for this cool brief! Sure, I will try Ubuntu Studio someday, and maybe will adopt it as my next distro! 
Keep the good work dude!
