That's always been the problem with Debian though... "stable" means just 
that - the software is thouroughly tested as a package and is extremely 
stable. The problem there is that also probably means "too old for bleeding 
edge folks to use."

If you want a "Desktop Debian" (and they're based on Debian anyway...)
go with Ubuntu (GNOME) / Kubuntu (KDE on Ubuntu) / Xubuntu (XFCE on Ubuntu) 
etc.

To me, in my personal experience, plain vanilla Debian, run with the "stable" 
(NOT "testing" or "unstable") repositories in sources.list is for servers.

Hence, its extremely stable (as it should be).

Just my .02
