As a end-user, I think the foundations need to be solid. What happens if I drag icons around to and from things, does it does something useful? One of my major concerns when moving between DE's is that I always want some way to build quick access to the common apps of my everyday use and some break apart when doing that. It doesn't need to be icons on desktop, not event show icons at all, as long as the function to do so is there and works. Another one is a fast filemanager that works in what it tries to do. Even minimalist ones like the one included in xfce would suffice, as long as it works. It seems even kde is looking for less features-more simplicity... I didn't tried e17 for a long time, so I cant' say what's the problem today (if there is one), I may be willing to again at home, at work is just hard to get the time to do so.
