In my experience, Corran Horn is the only E-Wing pilot anyone uses, as he can do reasonably well as a hit&run rebel regen boat that double-taps every 2nd or 3rd round. He's able to be very effective if built and flown well (mainly because rebel regen is amazing in the meta right now). Unfortunately he's a very special exception; other E-Wings are overpriced for what they can do, much like the StarViper and Kihraxz were.

But E-Wings arguably face the same problem bedeviling T-65s: one pilot is holding back the others from getting a buff. In the X-Wing's case it's Biggs, and for the E-Wing it's Corran, though I argue it's to a much lesser extent than with Biggs, who is all over while Corran shows up on occasion. But Corran being viable always makes people scoff at requests for an E-Wing fix.

Those of us who excitedly bought multiple E-Wings are a bit saddened that it's not very practical to have anyone but Corran on the table. I've heard people compare the stats of generic E-Wing pilots to  generic   T-70 pilots, claiming the T-70 is getting the raw deal (annoyingly always ignoring the difference Autothrusters and Integrated Astromech make, plus dial etc).... but in the end, Blue Squadron Novice actually sees table time and Knave Squadron Pilot really doesn't.

In all practical terms, non-Corran E-Wings barely exist in the current meta. From what I'm told, they've been like that since release.
