Comment on Is Samsung's Enlightenment Linux-based OS mentioned here really happening?

Comments

I've used Enlightenment off and on a number of times over the years. The underlying libraries always looked pretty cool compared to the standard Linux fare (GTK and Qt) but the end products (E16/E17) always have a goofy design and an unpleasant look and feel.

I hope they leave the graphics wizards to the code and get some real designers/ux experts to do the rest.

This is vaporware right now (there's videos on his site of Enlightenment on phones but they are old) so don't get your hopes up. Perhaps some day Samsung will spring some cool devices on us but for now there's no telling when, if ever, we will see this stuff.

The recent Samsung iPhone clone doesn't inspire a ton of confidence.
