I am a long-time user of E16. From time to time, I've tried out E17 to see
whether it might be suitable, on the grounds that A: why not, and B: if E16 ever
does "go away" for lack of maintenance, a suitable substitute would be needed.
However, I have never been able to configure E17 into anything suffiiciently
close to my preferred configuration.
On the most recent attempt, rather than just playing around with the E17 options
and trying to find ways to match my preferred setup, I decided to take a more
methodical approach: to go through the E16 configuration options in detail and
try to identify, from a user's perspective, how to achieve the same effect in
E17. I expected that most of them would turn out to be fairly simple and
straightforward - essentially the same options (by whatever names), just cleaned
up and reorganized.
Instead, I was rather disturbed to discover that even at what appears to be a
rather late stage of E17 development, something on the order of two-thirds of
the options from the E16 "Settings" dialog do not seem to have functioning
equivalents in E17, so far as I can find - and in all but a very few of those
cases, do not even seem to exist in E17 at all.
Is it really intended that E17 lack much of the customizability and/or
configurability which was present in E16? If not, is that customizability really
still so far from being fully implemented (despite the years of E17
development), or have I simply not managed to find the vast majority of the
customizability which does already exist?
