I've also noticed on forums and tech news sites that I frequent that overall the reception of TDE seems to have considerably warmed up over the last year despite skepticism and/or FUD. It "only" took a decade or so to convince the Linux world that TDE is here to stay and there is actual demand for it :P
I agree there is a slow warming and acceptance. When the TDE project first started there was some hostility, especially from KDE developers. In the free/libre software world "new" and "shiny" long has won the day, but that is human nature everywhere. Once the newness wears away people tend return to their regularly scheduled programming. :)
One alleged concern I have seen raised is security. I have read people claiming they would not trust packages such as tqt3 because of the alleged age of the software and limited number of developers. I am sure the devs watch for such issues, but I wonder how doubters can be convinced that TDE does not contain more security holes than any other software. Mostly I think people making such claims are only trying to sound knowledgeable when they are not. :)
