Cool, glad to hear that someone out there is using it.

I still don't think that they get enough love though.  They're getting
popular in a few small communities (arch, and reddit, and that's about
it).  To lkcl's original quote "[TDE] is strategically quite important as
it's one of the remaining comprehensive desktop environments that is also
light-weight and relevant.", i3 and xmonad are more lightweight, and are
more relevant to the sort of culture to which this mailing list is centered
around.

A few more links for those that may be curious about tiling window
managers, while I'm beating a dead horse:
