No Love??? or am I missing a fork??? Considering I don't do much other than tail -f logfiles on multiple terms (and do maintenance and programming via ssh locally), I don't need much horsepower, and it's always been fast and stable IMHO.

I love the looks of enlightenment. Thats not important though. This list doesnt really give the pros and cons of each. Even though I've been using some distro or another for years, doesn't mean I know beans about the features of any of these UI's. So, maybe a little more information about them please? I'd like to know about installed sizes, CPU, graphics card issues, I love my short cuts, does one have better support than another?

This guide is not really aimed at newbie users, it's just a quick writeup of the stuff that instantly come to my mind when I'm choosing between different window managers and DEs, so you don't have to research - do apply your own knowledge too, of course. These descriptions are oformed by my opinion, hence the KDE themeing and Enlightenment comment. Thanks for your replies.

I am not sure that the description "a bit strange" is a useful approach to Enlightenment. Your examples are well-chosen, but they only seem to point to the fact that these options exist, not actually give any guidance regarding what to choose.
