Hi Richard, I've been trying to understand Windowmaker since 1999, and have failed. That's why I didn't mention it in my list of great window managers: I figured no Devuaners would be using it. And yet I have respected friends who like it. And aesthetically it's very, very nice. And it's supposed to be modeled after NeXTstep, which is *highly* respected by many people whom I respect. I've tried about 5 times, over 1.5 decades, to get Windowmaker functional. By "functional", I mean a state at which I could be productive. And failed all 5 times. If you ever create a presentation about Windowmaker, or make a Windowmaker document, please get me in the loop. I'll tell you all the rabbit holes I've fallen down, and to the extent possible, I'll tech edit your presentation or document os John Q. Public can easily create a productive Windowmaker interface.
