    I used to play this opening when I first started playing chess in tournaments when I was in 9th grade. I follow up with 2. d4 no matter what and it can even transpose into a Queen's Gambit declined. 

    1. e3?? d5
    2. d4 e6
    3. c4

    ...and look where we are.

    Even if they don't cooperate with 1...d5.

    1. e3? e5!
    2. d4 exd4
    3. exd4 Nf6(?)
    4. c4

    and we're still in Queen's Gambit territory, only you've got an open E file.
    Think of e3 as a type of Ponziani structure where you're going for a pawn on D4 against all odds. It's really not THAT bad. It's got friends, to say the least.

    I'm no pro, but I don't usually open like this. Too many limitations.

    i've used this opening a few times.  when i put those games in the computer for an analysis it says that it gives me a losing position for about 5 moves and then i always manage to quickly develop my pieces and castle giving me a relatively equal if not winning position.  Also, If I play this opening and blacks response is to eventually castle king's side then i end up winning by trapping their king in the corner.

    Saw this three times in a row today in live chess!  Didn't know what to do so started playing KID against it?  Insane?  I went 2-0 with KID against it.

     

    Does it make sense for black to simply play as though white has opened Queen's Side choosing one's preferred defence?  It doesn't seem worth it to actually study this opening in itself.

    Revised as game was truly a bad example: This opening will probably lead to white building up dynamic potential and prepares f4, d4, or Nc3 as possibly the next move.

    When an opponent plays this opening in live chess I always assume it was a mouse slip...
