Agreed, Joker, but there are a few ENB presets that actually brighten things while still looking good. Then, of course, you have something like Winterheart's preset, which cranks up the "cold, hard" factor by 10. There's so much choice that I can understand someone being a bit overwhelmed by it, and they might want a simple alternative instead. I'm using a slightly modified Countervibe right now, which doesn't darken things too much, allowing it to display vibrant colors where they SHOULD be vibrant and keeping everything else realistic.

Just saying, I think the author is trying to overhype ICEnhancer.
