No.
The E-Embarcadero is a new service going the length of the Embarcadero (Fishermens' Wharf to the CalTrain Terminal--at least) and using historic trolleys like those on the F-Market line. It will complement the N, T and F lines, not change them. If/when the Central Subway is built, the T will run that route but the N will still run along the southern Embarcadero and the F along the northern Embarcadero with the E running the length of the Embarcadero, supplementing both.
If you've taken the F, especially along the Embarcadero, in the summer, you know the cars are horribly crowded. It's believed this will reduce that crowding a lot since many people just take the F from the Ferry Building to the Wharf.
