Whilst it's true that Enlightenment is very good and looks very nice
it's also true that it can help if you are a bit of a programmer.  Since
the new Gnome rpms came along Gnome is much better than it was.  But E
is still in the dark ages as far as stability is concerned.

Of course, I should think that we will see someone else who will try to
tell us that E is stable ?
