I'll provide the balance.
E has been rock solid for me, up 74 days until a visitor decided to play with
the buttons.
Memory? hah! i have lots of E toys turned on and E takes about 4 odd megs. If
you don't want all the toys, turn 'em off. I don't find it slow and I don't
have a fancy schmancy "phat" pII 400 or better cpu.
And yes, I nearly always use CVS for most of my stuff. So I tend to have more
toys on the desktop than the average.
Why not just leave enlightenment the default. It's a one time issue and rarely
even an issue. Most people already have whatever they like installed, they pop
in gnome and don't even bother with changing their manager.
