Ugly: matter of taste. I've always liked the default themes a lot, and
some others in the old pre-E17 days. The color variations on the old
b&w theme not so much. Inconsistency with gtk themes is the problem for
me. It's very hard to find a good dark gtk theme, that doesn't mess up
web browsing in firefox for example or libre-office. Though probably
both programs are to blame as well.

Awful: well, maybe. I understand the 'gui principle': customize
everything with gui. But it's not always obvious. I don't understand
how the composite settings work. I only partly understand how the
evrything module settings work. I don't understand how the display
settings work (using extra monitors and stuff; on my pc I let the
nvidia drivers care, but on my laptop with intel drivers it's not
working well). Config files sometimes are easier. I have absolutely no
idea how phab(ricator) works. There is no users forum (besides nowadays
the bodhi forums) and I am banned from #e (probably with good reason,
but I have no idea why, maybe my irc client went berserk when I was
afk). Anyway: support isn't always easy to get.

All in all, I'm fixed on e because performance is good and I like most
of the underlying principles. It has no weird daemons, no bloat. There
are creative people behind it who add new stuff to the window
managers / desktop environments scene (think default themes, everything
module, terminology). I know my around it now and it's just more than
fine for me.
