Jesse Smith reviewed E3 quite negatively at today's DW feature:

https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20180924#elive   "I strongly 
advise against downloading Elive. ... there are other projects, such as 
Bodhi Linux which offer a nicer Enlightenment experience, similarly low 
resource requirements and supported packages."

He was most distressed by the unsupported kernel and old default browsers.
