I imagine he said that with tongue in cheek. Part of the reason that e17 has taken so long to get to this stage is because Raster has been otherwise employed in Tokyo working for Dokomo writing code for their latest Linux based cellphones among other things.
For kicks I built E17. It runs on my AMD64 machine and looks fairly nice but many of the basic windowing operations seem sort of slow compared to Gnome. I suppose there are instructions around for how to build some menus but default out of the box it didn't give me access to any applications other than Firefox and a terminal so it is very minimal. I didn't look yet at what sort of memory footprint it might have. Since it seems slower than Gnome I wasn't that interested. Just my 2 cents, Mark
