In the late 90s our desktops on Linux literally looked like this [1]. Of course, that seems to have become lost to history. I bet E is still themable but you have to go back to 1999 when it was super exciting.
Which is odd, because I've written a bit of gtk 3 code.
I don't know, I don't want to say anything negative, only that I'm looking forward to using enlightenment again. :|
Much like physicists who spend their careers searching for a "grand unified theory of everything," I'm a software engineer searching for the UI toolkit that runs on everything.
I wanted it to be enlightenment, way back in the day,
Before becomming enthralled with the widgets of gtk,
Gave both IUP and Agar a try, but much to my dismay,
There were quirks to be found, so I tossed them away.

(In fact, it's kind of funny and sad that the state of the Linux desktop and the ambition level hasn't really changed much in 25 years)
Enlightment is the most complete ( although not complete ) UI ecosystem in C that I've seen.
I forgot about GNOME/gtk+
