I basically agree. You have a valid point, regardless. You
cannot make everyone happy, that is a fact.
If Blackbox went so far away from the reason I was using it I
would just use another windowmanager or make the changes to Blackbox
myself. (Generally speaking, not to be a hypocrite but under certain
circumstances I might support some changes.)
It is also worth noting that if so many people like Blackbox how
it is, there is no reason to use future versions that are released.
shrug. I read the list. I generally avoid getting involved in
needless discussion.
