I've been with TDE/Trinity since they forked from KDE 3.5.
I have had _no_ "issues" with the desktop -- save for several annoyances
that they solved soon after my posting in their user email list.
All along it's been Ubuntu underneath it all.

I'm always impressed at how they roll out the updates, new versions, and 
add features as suggested by the users.

Using "bugshit" for something besides M$ products, 
is a *gross* mis-characterization.
Especially in this case.
