As the Deluge maintainer in Fedora I'm going to agree rather wholeheartedly with Bastien on this one. It (Deluge) is a really nice client, but for a "Just click and watch it go" client, it is also a lot more complex, in terms of UI. Transmission just feels a lot more first-time-user-friendly in how its UI is structured and its preferences dialog seems a lot more sane. Perhaps it's a misplaced analogy, but I see it similar to Firefox in a lot of ways - Deluge, like Firefox, as a lot of really great features and works well; but an alternative such as Transmission (a la Epiphany to Firefox) has perhaps less features but a much more user-focused UI. Deluge is a very good client, yes; but at the same time I feel that it still needs some TLC before we can consider it for a default setup.
