The downside is Debian is VERY slow to release stuff into their "stable" branch
As an example, Debian's "stable" branch includes KDE v2.2. kdebase-3.1.3 made into unstable on July 30th. When did KDE release v3.1.3 ?? Debian (stable) is shipping Gnome 1.4; unstable seems to have a mix of Gnome v2.1 and 2.2 stuff.
I ran Debian (unstable) for a couple of years and it was rock-solid. Problem was even the unstable branch took "too long", IMO, to get new versions of software. With KDE 3.x, it was probably months after release. And even then, you had to use unofficial APT repositories to get the stuff.
