I tend to clean my drive train often, and will take the chain off for a good cleaning once every few weeks, or when I want to work on my bike (which is often)
I have wanted to try some other lubes like white lightening, but I still have better than half a bottle of the Dumonde and I can't see spending the cash until I'm running low.
Just the opposite for me. Started with White Lightening but found that it got the chain too gunky. Recently started using Dumonde Tech Lite and so far so good. One drop per roller. Instructions say the sound of the drive train will tell you when to re apply.
