First of all - wait until E17 is officially released
and then judge. Who has said that the default theme
will be like that when it is officially released? 

There is a lot of things happening at the moment only
a few people know about. You will not get the image
what E17 will be like when officially released if you
download and compile the CVS code right now. There are
a lot of things going on behind the scenes at the
moment regarding E17.

Configuration tools etc. all of them will be
implemented, integrated and bundled with the official
release. You will not get all that stuff if you just
compile the CVS code now. There is also no need to
compress, pack or whatever regarding the theme files.
All you need to do is to select a single file and
theme will be changed.

Regarding the RAM usage - well, let's just say that
one of the reasons YellowDog Linux (PS3) selected E17
was because Playstation 3 has only 256MB of RAM and it
was out of question to run Gnome or KDE with that
amount of RAM. E17 on the other hand seems to run very
nicely on a machine with just 256MB of RAM. It's about
how you configure it.
