Any suggestions would be appreciated. When you just started using FreeBSD you should stay with enlightenment, because it came with the release and because it works. It looks complex, because you can configure everything yourself. With Windows you can't. Enlightenments complexity is the price you have to pay for your freedom. When you feel at home a bit with freebsd you could try gnome with sawfish. I think it is quite a bit faster than enlightenment. And it looks a little bit more ... "sensible" ...
