In defense of Enlightenment...

It is stable now (as of version 0.15 and above). Also, the perception of it being a resource pig was caused by the use of shaped pixmaps in the window decorations, and it is much more frugal if you don't use them. The default theme now is *not* shaped, so it will run much faster for people now. If you use a plain-jane theme, then E can compare with WindowMaker and the like for resource usage.
Also, most users do not run imlib-config before running E, which can make a dramatic difference in performance and resource usage.
