Boy, I hope not. First off, OSNews is like the Weekly World News of the Linux world: horrible writing, uneducated editorials, and gratuitous sensationalism. Secondly, while I think kwo has done a stellar job picking up the reins, let's be realistic: E 0.16.x is no longer state-of-the-art.

"no longer state of the art"? well, excuse me, but I disagree. Granted, there are plenty of other features now present in many of the other wm's, BUT, none of them are as light, as configurable and enjoyable as E. First off, which other WM off the top of your mind can let you use up to 32 vitual desktops of a size of 8x8 screens? For people like me who are extremely multitasking, E represents the best in that regard: a clean environment no matter what, since each app has it's own "desktop". And which other WM can claim to use less memory than E? Someone in the gentoo forums (I wished I'd bookmarked that page, I can't find it anymore!) benchmarked the 'boxes and E for RAM usage, E came out winner by a 10 to 15% margin (meaning less than the 'boxes). And the new winter theme is a rather nice default, compared to ugly KDE or gnome, not to mention what windowmaker's default is. And E's theming options are endless! Add the EFL on top of e16.7 and you have the top notch right there. Especially engage, evidence and entrance, those three have the most potential to make E known in the linux world. So, State of the art or not? for me it still is.
