   E17 sort of makes the ultra-light WMs and stuff look unnecessary, from an eye-candy standpoint. Now that it has its own compositor that can run on almost nothing, it’s an exceptional environment for mobile devices.

   Samsung knows where to make their investments, that’s for sure.

   @undrwateranarchy That is illume up there, the default home screen is just traded out for the ELFE launcher. The default illume home is a lot less configurable/sleek looking so only made sense to use ELFE instead

   Any reason you didn’t choose illume over ELFE?

   Okay, I was just wondering. Being as young as me, I obviously have to get used to the fact that open source software is able to change with the way the user wants it. That’s one thing I truly like about open source software: It is what you make of it. I may only be 17.9, but unlike most others my age FOSS is probably the best thing I have ever used. And I continue to use it, even if some of the FOSS that I use is from Google. But in general, do whatever floats your boat.

   @StrawnK Android is not anywhere near as flexible as Enlightenment. With a couple clicks that E desktop can look like a normal desktop layout simply by changing profile.

   @StrawnK actually you have been able to use widgets on e17 for a long time now. E17 has always been a different way of doing things. Mostly because there is no predetermined structure to the interface for it. Enlightenment is more about take the libraries and available tools and see what you can do with it attitude.

   Is it just me, or is the Enlightenment Desktop trying to copy Android?
