I can't remember why, but 5 days ago I just started using dwm[1]. Ah, yes, that's why: I've been playing with CDE, see entry on 2012-09-10[2]. I realized that I don't need all of Awesome's features. When I started using a tiling WM, I did indeed need them -- because I wasn't yet used to tiling. I had a different workflow. All this has changed. dwm has the potential to put an end to my window manager journey. It does the job, it's fast and it's stable. It has no dependencies other than X11 itself. Its code is a lot easier to understand than Awesome's code. (Awesome could easily die. We don't know what the future holds for XCB. Awesome-git is very different from Awesome-stable, thus there would have been a lot of work to port my elaborate configuration once the next version is released. It's all about complexity. Kill complexity.) ____________________ 1. http://dwm.suckless.org/ 2. gopher://uninformativ.de/0/twitpher/2012-09/2012-09-10.txt
