In that case, it's a very unfortunate choice of nomenclature. For the 
record, I only run Debian stable on production servers. I have tried to 
like Debian on my desktop but stable was too ancient and the fussy 
details of having a usable system, like having good-looking fonts, 
eluded me when I tried Debian but that was about five years ago when I 
had much less experience with Debian. I ran Mandriva for a long time and 
quite liked it but they seemed to lose their way. I eventually got to 
Kubuntu. It was OK, though there was more breakage than I liked with 
KDE. For KDE fans, it's not a great distro. I've ended up with Fedora 
running KDE and I'm quite happy with it. I might be happy with Debian 
unstable on my desktop, too, now that I'm much more comfortable with Debian.
