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...
