Well, I've been using Enlightenment since it was first released (I used

We should all be chained to our computers and forced to run GNU/Linux
with GNOME[0] and if we don't comply then the only solution is death.

Actually, I don't care what people want to use as long as cute little
animals aren't hurt in the process.
