Yeah, I am playing with it at home right now.  I don't think it is going
to replace E for me though.  It is alot better than Gnome 1.4[1].
They improved nautilus a good bit. I think that is about the only thing I really
found useful[2]. 
 
Otherwise, I bind all my programs to hot-keys[3] so I don't really use the
menus at all.  I suspect that I am not really their target audience. It funny
but at this point, I only use E because I like the pagers and icon boxes. If
I found something cleaner that would provide window shading, pagers, icon boxes,
and good keybindings I would probably switch to it. I like E but it is quirky
and as the underlying libs get upgraded it gets weirder and weirder.

[1]. I have limited experience with both so take my view with a grain of
     salt or three.

[2]. It is great for browsing those pics from your digicam. Makes finding
     what you want alot faster.

[3]. I love that windows key. It IS good for something. ;)
