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.
Thanks!

I sure hope this is *purely* hypothetical. :-)
It is purely hypothetical at the moment. Of course donations to the
project help to make sure that it stays hypothetical in the future.

What triggered this was a new salvo from KDE4 claiming that 4.8 is
the best desktop ever, and that those backwards TDE luddites should
just use a minimalist window manager if they don't like KDE4. I'm
trying to prove them wrong. :-)

KDE4 is simply non usable in a production environment compared to
KDE3.5. Its slower, requires more mouse clicks and is less
configurable. Some clients have described it as a vista clone...

KDE3.5 on SuSE 11. Waiting for SuSE TDE binaries.
