It's interesting to follow Enlightenment's history as it started out as a hacked fvwm-xpm that was slow and bloated to Enlightenment, which was slow and bloated for its time. And through a combination of Moore's Law and Rasterman's perseverance it's now a modern, fast, and lightweight desktop. It makes me wonder whether some day, Enlightenment, in some form, might end up a "household name" similar to what happened with NeXT: great technology, never made it big, people thought it was dead, the devs persisted, and now it's morphed into OS X and iOS some of the most popular OSes today. I'm curious whether E will have its NeXT moment, as well.
