Indeed. David has waxed positively about a number of lightweight DEs here in The past. As he suggested them I tried them. I didn't like them and found them difficult to work with, probably because of different expectations and habits. As such they _felt_ broken because they didn't work the way I was used to.
I actually have found David's documented exploration in e16 and e17 (to name one alternative DE) quite interesting.
Very much so; like you it motivated me to try it, not just one but on a number of occasions.
I also tried out e16/17 at his suggestion. I've used it before but dropped it for various reasons. Trying it again, I can see its merits, but it's not for me so I didn't continue with it.
Same here. One day, perhaps ... but its every bit as 'non trivial' as KDEX. Perhaps David could be persuaded to submit a package that includes a configuration setup, menus, a few sets of decorations and wallpapers, a complete 'ready to run' that's more than just the distributed base. A 'this is how I think you should start' approach.
I have to say I appreciate his efforts and the reminders of other DEs.
+1 at the very least!
