Actually, you must be talking about EFM - not E. EFM and Enlightenment haven't actually merged together yet. If you don't know what EFM is, it is the Enlightenment File Manager, closely modeled after the Amiga Workbench and MacOS FM's.

EFM is using SGI's fam mainly because it is an excellent library for file management type tasks. EFM's development is quite stunning, if you watch the E CVS mailing lists you know what I mean :)

I've noticed some FUD floating around about EFM as of late, mainly by people who obviously haven't used it. There are no toolbars, html viewers, and other things like that. You have windows with icons and menus (translucent menus at that) and a typebuffer with glob matching and other fun stuff.
If you would like to see several shots of EFM in action, please go to my site at http://saturn5.locnet.net/dphase. There are several shots of EFM there showing exactly what it can do.
