Window Managers "The performance of desktop computers increases year by year. This gives the programmers great opportunities to further improve the desktop experience of the users. However, what should you do when you have an old computer that is not capable of running the latest and hottest software? How can you benefit from the great software that is X.org when you can't run a desktop that takes advantage of its best features? No need for upgrading your PC, when you can have a usable alternative with the current one. Let me introduce you to Enlightenment E17 - the window manager with minimal hardware requirements that may amaze you."

Well since you seem to have a line on exactly what would make a "great" e17 article, at least in your opinion, we can expect your article real soon now right?

I'm not the biggest fan of these kinds of rants either but your reply isn't any better. I really hate this "if you know what's wrong with X, you'll have to be able to make a better X" fallacy.

I can point out dozens of flaws in Vista without being able to write a better OS.
I can review games and movies without being either a game designer or a producer.
I can tell you whether a football player (soccer, whatever) is crap without being able to play in the Premier League.

Did I say anything about the OP reqriting e17? I don't remember saying that and it sure as heck isn't what I'm reading. Now if he wants to bitch about the article then yes, I think we should expect him to write one of his own or silently ignore this one.
