I think you really have to differentiate what kind of use you are
talking about. I have the feeling you are only/mostly looking at the
desktop segment. For desktops I kind of agree with you. On a desktop I
always want to have the "new and fancy" and I run unstable on my
desktops (the other reason is to help find bugs). On the other hand I
also maintain a bunch of servers and I would not want to run testing
on them. I really like stable for servers, as I have an extremely
solid system which doesn't give me much work, except installing
security upgrades. When etch comes out I will upgrade those servers to
etch and then I don't have to do much work on them for quite some time
till the next release comes out.
