Use what you like but Xorg has went Sid and stabilized, KDE is about 95% through the abi transition, Gnome did its update... If you are gonna hang out with the Kid Who Breaks the Toys; I would recommend installing apt-listbugs. It lists critical bugs before each apt installation; and has saved my butt grief. With the exception of Koffice not making the transition, reinstaling k3b (Unofficial repo), and having to manually restart KDM after the latest upgrade, I literally had to do NOTHING after a dist-upgrade. Good Job, Developers. -- Me? A skeptic? Can you prove it?
