    Try alacritty. I never used xterm because rxvt/urxvt was always better, but after 15 years I have finally moved.

    And I used to use fvwm (still install it because why not) but I am stuck on KDE that now likes to call itself plasma. Honestly, I am very happy with it.

    As far as enlightenment is concerned, at some point of time close to 2008-2010, Rasterman was contacted by Samsung to write backend for mobile devices, so he dropped all the bling-bling and focused on fixing base libraries (efl), in top of which his minions created the most easily portable and most uninspired desktop experience and basically kicked e17 out the door, to be used by no known user. Seriously, the stuff you could do in e17 back in 2008 was all gone by 2012. What a let down. Now its proponents write shitty software on top of efl like terminology that doesn't work properly and will never because its developers have no goal beside using efl.
