It's my experience having used deluge that it's both incredibly unstable
and it's ui is quite cracktastic (just one example is how it shows you
the offset in the file but not the progress on individual files).

It shows promise but at present Transmission is closer to being a
candidate for a normal user. I'd be horrified if Deluge in it's current
state was made the default, it needs serious usability reviews and
stability work.
