I just modify what's in the default configuration file (Awesome has been the first wm that works like I want by default!), so if tabulous was included in there, even commented out, I'd probably be using it. *shrug* > Most of our users do not seem to come from the tiling window manager world. This seems reasonable, as the general consensus on the Arch Linux forums (where I went for information about tiling wms) seems to be that Awesome has useful defaults and is generally easy to configure (and so is good for those making their first foray into the world of tiling), and XMonad is faster and more configurable, but requires you to invest a large amount of time (you have to learn Haskell!) to get it to how you want it, the first time at least. > Most of our users are using awesome for a long time, we do not get new users that much. It may also be that the new users just don't subscribe to the mailing list, and thus didn't know about the survey. If it works like you want it to, your motivation to subscribe to a program's list is much lower than if you need lots of help, which was probably more the case for earlier users. ;) -- James Pearson -- The best way to predict the future is to invent it. - Alan Kay
