“Enlightenment has been quite interesting to me. It has not even
got a beta release so far yet I like to use it. That is because, it
does things differently. It is very efficient, keeps the CPU far
more cooler than any other desktop environment, has nice effects
already built-in, and is far snappier than most mainstream desktop
environments [I am not interested in comparisions here; so I won’t
point to any other desktop environment in particular.].

“However, there still are some issues [Actually, when you
install E17 and read the about dialog, they clearly acknowledge
that it is under “heavy development”]. I would like enumerate a few
of them here. These are the ones that have concerned me recently
while trying to make E17 my regular desktop environment.”
