I have exactly the opposite experience. And before anyone brings it up, yeah, anecdotal evidence is no evidence at all. Two-three years ago, when I tracked debian-testing, I had so much package breakage that I gave it up entirely and started tracking sid. Kubuntu came along, and I found it easier in many ways... except for the _graphical_ package management. I find the combo apt-cache/apt-get are still more reliable than adept to update my system, so today I work with 4 kubuntu-gutsy machines: one at work, three at home.

The Grumpy Editor's guide to (some) development distributions Posted Nov 9, 2007 23:13 UTC (Fri) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] Yeah, anecdotal evidence sucks. A week ago I would have sworn by Debian testing, after a few years of intermittent use. Then just last week something happened which rendered XFCE unusable, and it seems that a quick fix is not forthcoming: it is not yet in sid. I am using KDE meanwhile. Speak about using development distributions on your desktop!Then again the response to the bug was outstanding, as always in Debian.
The Grumpy Editor's guide to (some) development distributions Posted Nov 10, 2007 12:15 UTC (Sat) by cortana (subscriber, #24596) [Link] The timing of your bug is unfortunate to have coincided with ftp-master.debian.org being down. Currently no new uploads can be accepted, nor can any packages propagate from unstable into testing. :)
ftp-master.debian.org down Posted Nov 10, 2007 13:56 UTC (Sat) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] Oh well, I'm not complaining. For what I pay (0 ) Debian's support has always been outstanding: response to all issues in less than a day, even for software in testing, and almost always including the fix. I know of huge three letter companies who are happy to charge you millions and then provide horrible service.
The Grumpy Editor's guide to (some) development distributions Posted Nov 10, 2007 23:20 UTC (Sat) by jeroen (subscriber, #12372) [Link] I got hit by that bug too, but it has already been fixed in the xfwm4 on 21 september: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/x/xfwm4/x... Somehow the package didn't hit testing before libgtk did however, installing the xfwm4 package from sid solves the problem.
