the E devels state that it's more about the libraries than the window manager 
these days; which is probably pretty accurate. imlib and imlib2 were 
deffinitely very popular, and i know there was a fair amount of cross-talk 
between E and the other desktop projects code-wise back in the E16 days...

maybe E17 will deliver a few more important libs that can be picked up by 
others as earlier versions of E have..

Rasterman has also said previously that E was more about research and trying 
cool new ideas out that delivering a completed product to the masses... they 
seem to be heavy into the OpenGL side of things these days; i can't decide if 
they pushing the OpenGL angle a bit agressively, or not agressively enough 
though ;-)
