I'm not saying, that you cannot use debian for desktop work - I'm using sarge
at the moment in order to write this mail.
Al I'm trying to say is, that debian is not "primarily intended" for desktop
work.
Debian claims to be an "universal operating system" - by that, it can be used
for desktop work. But it was never a principal of debian to create releases
that are intended for desktop work, only, or that are desktop centeric, like
SuSE or Readhat are doing.
By that, compromises have to be made.
