I disagree with window borders being useless. For example a lot of curses based programs don't have a cursor at all. If you have two of these open, no way of telling which one is active. I also get easily confused with graphical programs if I don't have a bright hilight for the currently active window. I dare guess that a lot of people who use dwm also use keyboard with a web browser, even with a graphical one, and they usually don't have this kind of indicator either. - Tuomo Hartikainen
