You certainly may be right that "almost one uses" fvwm,
but I also would not be surprised to learn that many people
do use fvwm at least to provide an initial working
environment.

One of the first things I do on a new installation is
copy my .fvwmrc file from a USB stick to ~/.  I have
always found it useful to have a fully functional
windowed environment right out of the box.  Of course,
I might later install a more complex desktop environment,
but I have always been extremely grateful to have fvwm
available, especially in situations where I may not yet
have my network set up. (I also keep wifi drivers on that
USB stick.)
