Realistically, Enlightenment is going to remain a "power user's" system unless the configuration utilities and documentation are dramatically improved and GNOME decides to return to the fold. Newbies will stick with whatever their distro installed until they reach a considerable level of sophistication. E is really a tool for creating custom desktops rather than a desktop itself. I don't think that there is any way to simply load E16 and use it without learning how to edit the configuration files. I doubt if E17 will be better any time soon.
I also think that edge flipping works much better with a trackball than with a mouse or other limited-range pointing device. That is a pretty good reason for using a trackball although the main reason is that it doesn't wander around and bump into things. You can put your hand on it without looking for it.
