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 ;-)

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 Konqueror's KHTML severely outdated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 :-)
