Sorry, this is not true. When I started using Debian two years ago,
Gnome in testing was so broken for a long time that I switched to
unstable. When I say broken I mean that you couldn't start a
gnome-session without all of gnome segfaulting, the first nautilus.
Now I maintaing some servers (serving gnome sessions thougth xdmcp), and
testing is in a very good shape.
So your trade-off is "nothing working" vs "working packages in
experimental at release date, working packages in testing within three
weeks".
If you think it was better than now...
