Yes, I concur with this sentiment. Having tried many WMs, and doing repetitive wiping of installs/port building that you eventually want stability and not go hunting why this or that broke. It just diverts your time away from your planned work for that day. So I now use the default fvwm like Marc says he does, but I am looking for a very fast compiled lightweight WM, and will try out the alternatives :-)
