Thanks for the correction. Yes E (or Eet) is not any DE, my mistake it is only a WM (windows manager) which can be used with any other DE. Thanks Nasim for reminding me.
But now I am confused, as I have read something related to Darwin project and this Englightment project. Now I cannot find any article relating these two, I guess I was wrong. By the way, on E all OS X short-cut keys work, isn't it? Or is it just a gOS implementation? Another correction. On April 20 a stable version (1.0.0) was released. So it is not in beta phase any more.
