Hi everyone

I can absolutely acknowledge that. I've been using enlightenment for
five years now and don't know of any better window manager.
Bill already listed most of the great features so let me say something
on performance:

I'm using enlightenment on a few machines ranging from a notebook
with 133MHz and 48Mb of memory to my office machine with 3GHz and
1GB of memory. The felt performance is roughly the same on every
machine, even with all the nice features turned on.

The above mentioned office machine has an uptime of a few month now
and enlightenment is using a total of 4.2MB now. :-o
If you are more into numbers you can have a look at

Cheers,
Nikolai
