Enlightenment Lives

Posted by michael on from the do-some-E dept.

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."

    It may be innovative, but in my opinion it's too ugly to use. I'm sorry if this is trolling or just being a dick, but it's hard to look at. Maybe I'm used to KDE or xfce4, but do people who use it prefer it's default look over the default look of other wm's? Or is that because it's so customizable the default interface is quickly altered to appeal to tastes?

    I'm not a big fan of KDE's keramik, but I find this interface too ugly to be usable. Sorry, that's my opinion.

    But on the other side, it's good to see small projects like this stay alive. It's good to see how the community can press on even when they're not backed by wealthy investors. So I guess that craps on my complaint. If I don't like it, who gives a shit.

    Go Enlightenment!
