A hypothetical poll for users here....
If TDE were to close down, which desktop would you use instead? You would be allowed to abandon Linux entirely in this scenario. ;-)
XFCE, something from WindowMaker camp, or - if theese two wouldn't satisfy my needs - KDE4.
Please state why you have not already switched; i.e. what item are missing or suboptimal in the other environment.
I just like the concept of "Classic" desktop approach without "fancy" stuff that turns desktop into "Active places filled with rainbow-colored widgets". Speed and stability is another concern. KDE 3.5 and TDE 3.5 as its successor are pretty slim-and-fast for nowdays workstations, they are free from KDE4 Plasma and Gnome 3 crazy stuff, and they simply work "transparently" - I just don't even notice that there's something like DE I interact with, my feel is like I'm directly working with the apps I want.
I am curious as to why TDE still exists and need some concrete examples to fall back on to counter detractors.
Speed, stability, simplicity, and IMO the best implementation of the "Classic" PC desktop approach.
