"decidedly unglamourous desktop"
It works. It doesn't get in the way.
Many years ago, Linus talked about the "hard candy shell" around the kernel, the fact that a system call today, yesterday, tomorrow, were all the same. The insides change constantly, but the interface is consistent.
That's what TDE is for me. A consistent interface. My 20 year old mbox email files work exactly the same way they did when I first created them.
Now I don't _have_ to use mbox files, but if I do they work. They remain consistent. And that consistency (with of course the occasional slips) is the value of TDE to me. Kmail, Konqueror, kgpg, Klipper, Konsole, TDE wallet. I use them every day, and they just work.
Thank you.
