Dear all, I cannot remember exactly when I first met Ctwm.
My oldest backups date from 1993, and at that time I was using Ctwm 3.0beta. I know that before I switched to Ctwm I tried mwm, gwm, twm, vtwm and tvtwm. For months, sometimes longer. All with varying levels of satisfaction. But nothing compared to the more than 15 years I've been using Ctwm. For the past several years I've been struggling with some of the problems of Ctwm, and, more important, with its inability to keep up with modern desktop environments. No, I'm not complaining. Several volunteers have done an incredibly good job on Ctwm. But apparently these problems were to hard to tackle, and I myself was not able to do it either. Recently I came across the OpenBox window manager. Lean, flexible and very well configurable. And up to modern desktop standards. So I decided to bite the bullet and migrated my 15 years of Ctwm desktop setups to OpenBox. I have enjoyed the 15 years of Ctwm. But now is the time to say goodbye. As a final tribute, my OpenBox configuration looks and feels like Ctwm. Software changes. People do not. Thanks, Claude and all the others. It has been fun! -- Johan
