Well, one OSX-ish feature that would be extremely cool in enlightenment would be a live pager, something like the one in e16 but that is updated continuously and provides a good zoom on mouseover. While expose is cool, it's a bit much. I'd prefer something more subtle. That's not to say and expose-like feature shouldn't be incorporated into e17, just that I would prefer the trusty old pager.
