THESE ARE MY OPINIONS...

I disagree, diversity is good.  That is a huge benefit of open software
over Microsoft solutions.

There are a number of window managers out their and they all have their
places.  If you're running Pentium 200 or less, you shouldn't be using 
E, gnome or kde.  Use a lightweight wm like twm or fvwm.  I've got Linux
running on a 486 with twm and it performs acceptably.  On the other
hand, I'm using gnome and E on my primary machine (PIII 800, 384 M ram)
and I'm pleased with the performance.
