| Dead or not, I've been using WindowMaker as my window manager since the mid-1990s, on Solaris, Linux, and AIX, every day, and very often over VPN. I've never had it crash; never had to fuss with it. Being old doesn't disqualify it from being good at what it does. It was usable over dial-up when nothing else was.
I can't say anything good about GNOME. It was installed as part of the 'Sun Java Desktop System' when I upgraded my U60 here at home to Solaris 10, and made that machine practically useless for local desktop use, it was so insanely slow. Removing GNOME from it was like excising a cancer.

Speaking of new user, I saw someone asking if WMaker was still recommended, I think we should not advertise the dead Window Maker project in the front page to anyone but some old farts. Please replace SS with a GNOME themed one which could even enabled by default if GNOME environment was detected, declared it as current goal or something. Work best or not, WMaker SS shoud be eliminated from the front page immediatly.
Feel no sorry for bragging again and again on this, and will never give up.
