It's fascinating how differently brains seem to be wired up. Awesome's idea convinced me at first sight. So after my DE excursion (Gnome, then XFCE, and deciding that no, I don't want anyone mounting my USB sticks for me or limiting what I can do with my keyboard) I tried Awesome for a while. I never got the hang of it. Then I (re)discovered Fvwm. I'm an old guy and have seen lots of things. By now, I'm convinced that brains are "wired" in quite diverse ways [1], and that things like work environments (programming languages being part of a work environment) should be equally diverse. All those "wars" in the hope that The One Right Way "wins" are tragic wastes of time, human energy and goodwill. Perhaps they stem from former times, of big armies or worker cohorts. I don't know. Cheers [1] Actually, my "hunch" (I don't dare call it a theory) is a bit more complex, but for a nutshell, "wired" is good enough. - t
