I found deluge heavier (it's written in Python) and the UI more
contrived. Transmission's written in C, and has that GNOME/MacOS X (it's
a very popular client on MacOS X) philosophy about keeping things
simple, yet powerful.

I don't doubt Deluge is nice, but it's far too complicated as a default
client, IMO.
