SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Highly configurable
Trinity is very customizable, almost every aspect of the GUI can be changed to look like you want. Need a button in the toolbar? You can add it. You want a specialized toolbar in a certain part of the screen? You can add it.
You can configure the GUI in the setup before the first run too.
Pro Stable system that does not change everything every 6 months just for the sake of it
Pro Traditional desktop experience
As a fork of KDE 3.5 Trinity is designed for Unix-like operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional desktop model.
Pro Highly performant and efficient
outperforms other "lightweight" DEs like XFCE, LXDE, and many Openbox setups. Still delivers a full-featured & modern desktop experience if you want it to. Runs on even the oldest machines.
Pro HIghly modular. Minimal installation and WM-only installation possible
Use it as a pure WM if you want. Like Openbox or IceWM. No need to install other KDE3-components.

Cons
Con Slow development
Two years from one patch release to another and instead of fixing bugs it adds new ones.
Con Huge and obsolete codebase
Trinity is based in Qt 3, which is unmaintained by upstream. The KDE 3 codebase is also unmaintained. As new technologies like Systemd become a new standard the lack of developers make Trinity more incompatible and error/bug/security risk prone.
