Yes! Lowsec is real, lowsec is awesome!
OP, lowsec is for PVP.
Sure, besides PVP you can do anything you want in lowsec. For example, I also manufacture and trade in lowsec.
But...
Lowsec works best for you if you embrace PVP. Only then will you truly learn also how to avoid pvp when you're minding your PVE or ISK-making business.
If you're not interested in PVP, you're better off in highsec or in a nullbear corp.
Fly fun!

PVE in lowsec works perfectly if you do it to find PVP, not to run away from it.
People even mine in lowsec, but in something tanky with friends (or alts) nearby. And they're more than happy to be attacked and have the opportunity for some pew, even if they eventually lose a ship or two. Though kills are obviously preferred over losses, lowsec residents tend to see ships simply as tools for fun.
True, many lowsec guys and gals find it easier to fund their pew elsewhere, but where's the problem? Highsec for ISK, lowsec for fun.
Lowsec may be 'desolate' at times, but that just means that only a small percentage of the EVE population enjoys constant danger, frantic action and high losses in exchange for epic fights. To each their own, wild lowsec is fine as it is, just keep out if you're not interested in internet spaceship explosions.

Right now it's pretty desolate - you get some fw activity, and some gatecamps, but not much in the way of PvE or real activity? You wouldn't like to see a much more energetic and occupied space? Carebears PVEing =/= energetic space.
And no, I actually don't really care about 'targets', I prefer dudes that shoot back. And they're already in lowsec because they laugh at the notion that 'massive gatecamps' are preventing them to roam.

Next you'll say that a sensor booster allows the nasty people to lock you INSIDE THE STATION! Oh noes, the baddies killed me while I was spinning my ship! Even got the counter to 992... then... boom!
Seriously, we all had to learn stuff and we're all still learning. So ask somebody that actually knows game mechanics before jumping to conclusions.
FWIW:
1. Undock
2. Don't touch anything
3. Your ship will be going full speed ahead
4. You will be invulnerable for exactly 30 seconds. Invulnerable means both unlockable AND UNBUMPABLE (try it in Jita)
5. Warp to a bookmark directly in front of you (you have to prepare it first, obviously)
6. Ship warps instantly
7. If you do this, nothing will ever lock you, including sebos, magic wands, aliens and those wonderful unicorns we have in lowsec

HEIL SANSHA!! Confirming that clarity of spirit is a prerequisite for lowsec, and can be fully achieved only through hundreds of ship explosions (including your own).

Absolutely! We don't really care that much about 'tears' in lowsec, the heat from all the explosions tends to quickly evaporate them anyways.
