One of the other niches for TDE is also for badly supported hardware. Yes, it is still
sometime the case of Linux in 2014.
Newer DE needing advanced and good graphic drivers can't work properly for users like
me who are stuck with a brand new computer with vesa or fbdev performance drivers, because
the kind of Intel Poulsbo graphic card will never be well supported in Linux. Newer DE
can't even deal with basic video.
Also, performance and useability is still better on TDE, with PCLinuxOS being almost the
only distro with sane KDE settings out-of-the-box.

There are still people in the world who like
things to *work*, not glitter.
I think this is one of the best (if not "the best") description of what's
wrong with KDE4, Gnome 3 and any other DE that puts appeareance before functionality!!
