Why is Enlightenment so much better than KDE or Gnome?
Jin
*haha* now you are starting a war. =) just kidding.
i like E because it doesn't look like windows...
no icons on the desktop. no menu bar at the bottom.
i like the pagers as they make it easy to jump from one desktop to another.
the eyecandy is great... i mean really really nice. sometimes i just turn off all
the lights and look at the screen. =)
it is very easy to customize, and tho some of the things are a bit difficult to figure
out, once you get the hang of it cutomizing the menus, desktop, blah blah blah is
really easy.
it also comes with some nice themes, and you can download many more.
it really is all just a matter of personal taste, and i would rather have a "slicker"
interface that is a bit slower. i'm not in that much of a hurry. =)
also, the E "team" (they are more like leaderless bandits) is working on Enlightenment
17. my understanding is they are completely recoding much of it, and expect the whole
thing to be much faster, smoother, even easier to configure and there has been talk of
an integreated file manager (don't quote me on the last one). so i think things will
be much much better.
also, Eterm is great.
hey Civilme & Mandrake, can we have Eterm 9.1 in the next release? i use it & it's
perfectly stable as far as i can tell. that would be the bomb.
remember, to say E is "better" than X, Y or Z all depends on exactly what you want to
do. for many users Blackbox or KDE or Gome is "better". this is what i like about
the mandrake package. they give you a whole bunch of WM to play with.
