I still like the 1701-E.
I like the E-E as a starship designed by ASDB (Advanced Starship Design Bureau) as part of the line designed to fight the Borg, as well as serve as an exploratory vessel.
That's the nature of the E-E. It's primary purpose was to be an exploration ship, but it was designed with capabilities to fight the Borg as well, whereas ships like the Akira, Defiant, Jager, Steamrunner, and a couple of other classes were designed by ASDB more toward the purposes of fighting the Borg.
Probably the only thing I don't like about the E-E on-screen is that, compared to the Excelsior and Constitution classes, the E-E looks more like a light up toy. (I do think Nemesis made the E-E look a bit better, except for its introductory shot.)
Ah, that explain why it has phasers and torpedoes, as oppose to ships that weren't designed to fight the Borg ... which have phasers and torpedoes.as part of the line designed to fight the Borg

That's the first word that comes to mind when I look at the Enterprise-E: "over-designed." Too much styling for the sake of styling. Too many fiddly details. Also, it's too flat -- it looks as if it's been stepped on.The 14 year old me on seeing First Contact for the first time loved it and much preferred it to the D (which I wasn't a fan of).
However, as an adult, I have grown to think of it as over-designed and over-aggressive in appearance as a Starfleet vessel.

And, before you tell me to "...go look in a mirror!", I am just kidding, Kronos!!!![]()

However, as an adult, I have grown to think of it as over-designed and over-aggresive in appearance as a Starfleet vessel. I have also come to appreciate the D more with age too.
