Yes. One of the web pages I first looked at while trying to find out
what Enlightenment was used 'E' like it was an accepted abbreviation.
And since they talk about e16 & e17 versions I assumed it was a well
known nickname for it. My bad!

It's possible. The main reason I like E is it's ability to be easily
configured to do almost all regular activities without having to dust
of that {many expletives deleted} rodent pointing device. AND it
simplifies assigning my own keyboard shortcuts by keeping them in an
editable text file. (there is a gui tool but it's not required)

If that sounds like a description of XFCE4 then perhaps I should check
it out...

But I like the way E16 handles multiple desktops, AND something it calls virtual
desktops. And that I can configure it to use only keyboard methods for
switching. It's fast, lean, AND visually pleasing.
