What sort of differences are you looking for? Apart from the look,
there's not much else a user sees; and a large part of the look is
customisable in each anyway....

Internally, they use different widget toolkits, based on different
languages; they each have their own set of libraries, there isn't
really anything in common between them (they're both built on top of
the same things, but I don't count third party foundations as part of
either project~)

Try both, see which one you like best, use that one.

Why not? Is being well informed about a variety of options a bad thing
o_O?

Personally I run enlightenment dr16, mostly as a way to have many
xterms visible at once :P
