Hi Pierre, I, as most others here, think that picking EFL is a great choice. We are in a time of flux but there is no reason to regret having used the current stable (legacy) API. As cedric notes this will be supported for many years and we will be offering a smooth transition to the new Unified API as and when it is ready. There are many applications built on the API that will be transitioning with you.
