17 years ago it was going to be amazing, even 10 years ago it was a damn cool piece of interface. Today... it's a bit dated... time has runout on them and everyone else has passed them by.

[Noir Angel]

Agreed. Personally I don't think it looks any better than Ubuntu's default interface.

Looks like KDE, but with more E

(or less K)

.

I actually think it functions quite well and had a good amount of customization options. Too bad it is still extremely ugly...

Well, it's been stable for a while. I've used it in Bodhi Linux several times.

E17 doesn't look too bad IMHO. Want to see ugly? Feast your eyes on E13:

I 'd prefer Unity, KDE, or Gnome over this.But thank you E17 dev. you gave us another choice.

This is the beauty of FOSS

It's quite hideous but props to them all the same

Is it a full distro or just a desktop environment ?
