With the libc logjam in Sid, running Sarge about now is comparable to running the latest Mandrake or Red Hat release without the dependency headaches - Testing is usually fine to draw upon for workstations for any user that can handle Linux-Cluefulness 101. That said, having had Testing around for some time now, in my opinion, it has been one of the best moves Debian has undertaken. The ability to access up-to-date software without the risks of missing or mismatched dependencies that might occur in Unstable has redoubled the value of using Debian over other distributions, and significantly leverages the power of Apt.
