Sorry, this is not true. When I started using Debian two years ago, Gnome in testing was so broken for a long time that I switched to unstable. When I say broken I mean that you couldn't start a gnome-session without all of gnome segfaulting, the first nautilus. Now I maintaing some servers (serving gnome sessions thougth xdmcp), and testing is in a very good shape. So your trade-off is "nothing working" vs "working packages in experimental at release date, working packages in testing within three weeks". If you think it was better than now...
