Enlightenment Lives
Anonymous Coward writes "The Enlightenment Project, far from dead, is pleased to announce the DR16.7.1 release of the Enlightenment Window Manager. With tons of fixes, a massive overhaul of the internals, and several new features this release is a must try for those who haven't run E in a long time. The window manager that redefined the way a desktop can look is still going strong."
Cheap troll, but I'm bored.
Don't like EFL / Enlightenment? Don't use it. That is the power of open source. Your bitching about inefficient memory usage when you probably haven't written a single line of code in your life should not and does not affect the ability of others to write and use code that you don't approve of. That is the power of ope source.
If you took the time to see what the E team had been up to, you'd see that their approach is the way of the future - they are pushing the boundaries for the good of everyone else. Imlib-1, which Enlightenment-0.16.x was based on was also the basis for Gnome-1.x image rendering. Similarly, Imlib-2 and EVAS will be the basis of more powerful desktop systems down the road.
Anyway, when you leave school and go on social security, you will be able to afford another 64MB stick and all your memory problems will be a thing of the past.
