Yeah, I think the big thing about using a tiling window manager is that it works best if you have a lot of terminals -- though reasonable ones (Awesome included) have a floating mode with regular windows with titlebars that is a lot like typical window managers. And yeah, shame but: - Wmii isn't really developed any longer, which is too bad because people really loved it. - Ion developer is a psychopath and his latest config files are batshit crazy to work with Re: DWM: - Xmonad and Awesome are both initally based on DWM, though both of them now have almost none of that original code left due to it being not actually that great (plus the wms changed a lot) - Awesome still handles tags like DWM, but has a lot more features, plus you don't need to use dmenu separately - I don't care, limiting your program by code size rather than features is a stupid idea. - If you need a ridiculously lightweight window manager, DWM is where it's at.
