They are certainly not the same thing, i'll simply put in the lead enlightenment devs response to someone else from the irc channel yesterday:

<bunjiboys>Hi, after a reinstall of my Debian box, I am no longer able to get Eterm working. When i try to start it, it opens the window just fine, but it never opens the shell. I tried settings different commands to run using the -e switch to change what to execute, but it seems like it never gets to that point. After running with both strace and --debug it looks like it is stuck in a loop trying to read a socket (/tmp/.X11-unix/X0). Strace output: https://bunjiboys
<raster>bunjiboys: no idea
<raster>i havent used eterm for over a decade
<raster>also note - thats the socket use to ttalk to x
<raster>so its talking to x all day
<raster>thats how you draw or get input
<raster>i use terminology
<raster>it's actively developed
<raster>and uses modern efl
<raster>eterm does not
<bunjiboys>I was hoping not to have to change terms, been using Eterm for well over a decade now, just so used to it :)
<bunjiboys>yeah, guess I do need to start shopping around for alternatives
<cippp>for sure you will like terminology
<raster>terminology is a far cry from eterm
<raster>it is pretty different
<raster>on the fancy-side it does a whole host more
<bunjiboys>well, i didnt really use most of the features of Eterm, I disabled all the UI stuff and so on, its probably more an "Ive always used it, so Ill keep using it" thing
<bunjiboys>Although, having been working on OSX recently, I wouldnt mind something that comes a little closer to iTerm2
<raster>well then... you'll be needing to do your own debugging
<raster>as such enlightenment has moved on
<raster>we build on efl
<raster>(our libs)
<raster>eterm does not
<raster>it is effectively not part of enlightenment as a project anymore
<raster>it's legacy we don't work on, support etc.
<raster>it doesn't use our library infra
<raster>and doesn't even visually fit in
<bunjiboys>my point was that I'm not against finding something else, just never looked
<raster>sure
<raster>just saying that if you don't move - you're not going to get any help here
