Re: [dev] revolution
Kurt - I think you need to rethink your definition of Troll. He simply asked a question. Regardless of whether you agree with the idea of the window manager in question, he didn't make some fallacious statement regarding DWM or any other suckless tools - he's simply asking for opinions. There is a sizable minority of DWM users (myself included) that use DWM's tags as workspaces. Yes, it's 'wrong' in regards to how the window manager is INTENDED to be used - but that's what's nice about *MY* computer - it's mine and I can use what software I want as I see fit. Not everyone *NEEDS* to the 'dynamic' from 'dynamic window manager' . I know I don't - I prefer DWM over any other window manager for other reasons besides the concept of tagging. No one implied that WMFS was anything 'special' - but rather that it took some ideas from DWM and changed them up a bit. It sits on a middle ground between dynamic tiling window managers and a lightweight floating WM. (Honestly, look at it like a tiling openbox and you'll get a better idea of it's capabilities)

We get questions like this a lot: how is wm better or worse than dwm? Let me put it this way: do you need runtime configuration, Xft, EMWH, Imlib2, and a systray? I don't, and I use tagging, so I think it's worse. What should I say, it's worse because it's bloated and lacks tagging? Clearly you disagree. So why not try the window manager and find out for yourself how it is better or worse for you? cls

There are only two reasons to ask a question that open-ended and useless. 1) You are an idiot, who thinks that you can compare any two objects with some kind of mailing-list version of hot or not. 2) You are a troll, asking stupid questions to piss people off and start fights. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. -- # Kurt H Maier
