I can get the best of both worlds, using KDE-4 apps in TDE when I prefer them to the Trinity versions, and using the Trinity versions when I prefer them. However this is an old system, installed around March 2017, with Trinity installed over a late Debian Jessie system that came with KDE-4. I installed TDM, so that is what I log in with. I actually work in TDE all the time, unless I have to use one of two programs that used not to work in Trinity. I just started one of those programs, Geomview, in Trinity just now, and to my surprise, it opened some windows. So perhaps I might even be able to use that in Trinity now.
