Alexandre simply likes shiny appearance, which has for example KDE4. Although I personally prefer the sober classic look, I'm glad for Alexander's efforts. For others, it says: "Do you wish classic desktop environment, but with the shiny appearance? Trinity is there for all - even for you!" By the way, also in Debian is available package kde-systemsettings-trinity / tde-systemsettings-trinity that contain alternative "modern" control center. It is only our choice, which one we prefer.
