Many lessons were learned from the WM code that currently exists in CVS, namely that
even in CVS we stretched the limits of what Ebits could do. This prompted Raster
several
months ago to scrap it and start work on Edje. Edje is essentially Ebits2 in concept,

<p>As this project is constantly fighting the "is E dead?" battle, it's important to
point out that this project has always been as much, if not more so, about libraries
than the window manager that we all know and love. Imlib is still in heavy usage,
Imlib2 has become a critical part of many projects. EVAS is going to be a significant
force in the future, and will be as big a hit as Imlib. Not only that, our library
collection includes a full widget library (EWL) based on EVAS, several convenience
libs (Ecore, Eprog, EWD), libraries for text rendering in EVAS (Etox, Estyle), a
packaging and distribution format (EET), a database (EDB), and a revolutionary
themeing scheme (Ebits, Ebg). Not to mention tools for EDB (e_gtk_ed, Ebindings,
etc), and Ebits/Ebg (Ebony, Etcher). We've got the file manager backend completed
(EFSD). We've got a widget daemon (Ewidgetd), one of the nicest image viewers ever
written (Entice), and two file managers (Essence, <a
href="http://evidence.sourceforge.net/";>Evidence</a>). And there is more than that!
We're running out of words that start with E. For the last 2 years the E project is
closer in scale (not goal) to KDE and GNOME than any other of the desktop projects. E
will be a complete desktop shell, and we've been laying the groundwork toward that
end.</p>
