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. ;-)
Please state why you have not already switched; i.e.
what item are missing
or suboptimal in the other environment.
I am curious as to why TDE still exists and need some
concrete examples to
fall back on to counter detractors.
Nothing hypothetical:
I use KDE3, because there are no repos with pre-built TDE for openSUSE, and
there is no Debian I can live with for daily desktop use. At the rate it's
going, another year or two and KDE4 might be usable (assuming anyone ever
decides to try to finish restoring discarded KDE3 functionality), maybe
around 4.10.1. Not likely Gnome will ever be suitable here. Actually I use
two desktops kept booted 24/7: KDE3, and OS/2 WPS.
