Popularity doesn't stop Corran from being unbalanced, the E-wing is at best a vastly overcosted interceptor that at best does an average job of being a interceptor. Especially when compared to what is the current standard for a good interceptor.

For the same base cost as Kylo Ren you get:

2 more total health than the E-wing.

A boost in addition to barrel roll, at the sacrifice of evade (but the ability to equip autothrusters arguably negates that).

A tech slot to replace the astromech (both contain some of the best upgrades right now).

10 green maneuvers compared to the E-wings 5.

2 Tallon Rolls and a K-turn compared to the E-wings 2 K-turns.

1 speed turns (arguably better than having 1 forwards/banks).

And essentially all you are giving up is a torpedo slot which Corran rarely uses anyways because it's a 1-shot attack.

The fact of the matter is, the E-wing, like many older ships in all of the factions, just isn't worth what it use to be worth. Even his pilot ability isn't as amazing as it use to be with pilots like Dengar, Quickdraw, and Jostero getting more than 1 attack in a round isn't unheard of. The E-wing needs a overhaul and it's not the only one.
