TDE is the only reasonably usable desktop. Period.
I agree. However, the world is not going our way: software that is not updated twice a month is "abandonware" or "insecure" when it may well be stable and in no need of change, cars need a hundred more or less useless electronic devices (when I think of what my first car contained...), Desktop environment need... Actually, reading the article I did not even find out what Trinity was missing (except that "modern look").
I still consider Greek and Roman architecture to be a basis when it comes to beauty, so a year 2000 look sure wont hurt me...
What the author obviously can't fathom is that it's exactly THAT look and feel that Trinity users appreciate.

It's not so much the 'look and feel' as the stability, i.e. controls don't move around in the control center, so we don't have to re-learn everything with each release, there are few gratuitous changes 'just because', etc.; and one doesn't have to drill down through four or five layers of menus to adjust a seldom-changed option. I have noticed that there seem to be quite a few TDE commands that don't have entries in the TDE menu, so I only find out about them by accident...
