> still there's no E17 but there's Vista.
E17 svn is pretty stable. Some even claim it to be more stable then e16 itself. E17 vs Vista, that is comparing apples with oranges. They have complete different goals. I do not think that E17 is ever ment to be in the desktop race. Even though it could have.
> And then, there's compiz, which has brought to the linux desktop more eyecandy than Enlightenment window managers.
There is no reason why E17 could not do that as well. Watch Rasters au linux conf video, he explains it all in detail why they do not do that, if you really care.
There has been a (experimental) module around though, that allows you exactly that kind of stuff. It actually worked pretty well for me. (aka bling module)
Yes compiz is nice, but show me 1 peace of software that does the same as E17 with the same resources or less and runs on the same amount of different systems.
Please have a better look at why projects are there.
They write it because they want it and enjoy it. Not to provide other people with what they consider "the best desktop".
Sorry if i sound a bit harsh, i just get a bit fed up about people who consider all software to be competition. In a way that is true, but there are also people who simply like to write the software _they_ want.
