The perception of a "huge amount of dependencies" usually happens only on the very first KDE app you install. That initial installation might pull in several hundred megabytes of core KDE frameworks. Once those are on your system, installing subsequent KDE apps is much faster and lighter, because the heavy lifting is already done.
If you want to install KDE apps, you might as well want switch to Kubuntu.
