I became interested in e17 nine years ago when its development started. I'm not sure if I should feel impressed or cynical at this point. When I was first learning Linux back before the turn of the century, I found enlightenment to be the most cutting edge desktop environment I'd ever experienced. It has been quite a while since then, and desktop environments have come a long way. At this point, I'd be very surprised to see something disrupt the entrenchment of what have widely become widely accepted as the default environments across platforms. That being said, I am very curious to see what so much work has resulted in, so I'll be checking this out.
- GeneralMaximus 17y agoI have no idea why the E devs are delaying the release of E17. I tried it for about week, and it works just fine. It gives you a lot of eye-candy to gorge yourself on, and most of it is tasteful. The performance is great, too. I think at this point, the E guys should put up a 1.0 release candidate for public consumption. I'm sure the pace of development will pick up once thousands of users are breathing down their collective necks.
