Enlightenment looks pretty good, except that from what I've seen, it has a distinctly 90s look to it. Have they started to integrate animations and effects like Gnome and KDE have in recent years? Making a new desktop that is bereft of eye candy is unlikely to get much adoption, since everyone from Microsoft to Apple to Google has been laying it on thick with composited interfaces with "whizzy" effects. I guess you could still win over the Puppy Linux / DamnSmallLinux crowd with a simple interface, but XFCE and LXDE have already completely cornered that market IMO.
Still, more choices isn't a bad thing. The "point" of the project, if nothing else, is to have fun and release free software -- if it actually has users on top of that, it's a plus.
