I think at least part of the answer lies in the poll some months ago asking for priorities for E21 and E22: https://phab.enlightenment.org/V14 The decision was to focus on fixing gadgets for E21 and cleaning up the settings for E22. With E21 soon to be released, the developers will turn, or have already turned, to cleaning up the settings. I have been a E user for only 2 years, but I understand the frustrations that can arise. One of the beauties of E is that it can be so completely customized, at times one (from the masses, like me) has no idea what changes result from some settings -- or how they may interact. I think we will see some improvement with E22 and perhaps the production of more complete user documentation. That is something in which many of us can and should contribute. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
