I like Trinity desktop because of it's integration and flexibility. I like

familiar, I like familiar. My family also likes familiar, and as such I can
set them up running TDE quickly. They are average users and have no problem
using Trinity. I like that it can be used by very basic users (them) and
advanced users (me). Trinity Rocks!
I don't like Konquerors broken web browser capabilities. I also do not like
how instable Kickoff is. I wish that Trinity would include integration for
google calender and other google products. Most of all I would like to see
Trinity have integration with LibreOffice.

All,
Given what has been happening lately with respect to KDE4, and the media
incorrectly attempting to portray us as directly competing with KDE4, and
there only on reliability and direct feature-set parity, I have a
challenge for you:
Write a few sentences stating what you like about TDE most. Leave KDE4
and other desktop environments completely out of the picture (no direct
comparisons), and focus on the strengths of this particular desktop
environment. Mentioning the general theme of your work (i.e.
engineering,
software development, sales, etc.) isn't a
bad idea either; this would
help us gather some demographics on who uses TDE vs who uses other
desktops.
I use TDE on my home computer, and for literally everything (unless I'm on
a
computer too-limited to run a desktop environment). I like to keep things
plain and simple, but I don't like having being limited in my options or
ability to customize. I also don't much care for the "modern look" thing
that
most companies and projects are going for. That's exactly why I use TDE. It
allows me to customize to my heart's content without over complicating
things
or forcing a "modern look" on my eyes ;-)
I am also interested in the other side of the
coin: What do you hate
about
TDE the most? If other people agree the results
could become the basis
of
some new enhancement requests, helping to make
TDE better overall.
What do I hate the most about TDE? Hmm... Konqueror's KHTML severely
outdated
and doesn't work well on modern web sites. Also KOffice, which is too
simplistic even for me. Other than these, I can't really think of
anything :-)
