I have obtained pretty much the same test results while struggling to
find a TDE alternative(s) using a "features / resource consumption"
scale. I saw no competition between the TDE and Razor-Qt, because of the
reasons you have mentioned. As the time passes new actively developed
projects like Razor-Qt tend to grow larger, not smaller, so I assume
the gap will only widen in the future.

It's still too early to guess, but I (wish|expect) to see E17 as a major
rival of TDE in 3-4 years from now.
