One of the first wow-moments when I first installed linux (2003ish) was Enlightenment. I though it was very pretty, and quite different from the mainstream WMs. It was presented as a feature, not a bug, that development was slow: the people behind it wanted to take the time it took to get it right.

So I waited. I always installed it on new computers, but it never seemed quite ready to use.

I did the same today, and the feeling is the same as in 2003: it’s not quite there yet.

Hence the question: does anyone actually use it as their everyday WM?

    I still use E16 for my WM on my main PC. It’s got some quirks, but I like it’s light resource usage (by modern standards), quick startup times, and the theme I run.

    E17 is stuck in perpetual dev pergatory like Hurd.
