I never liked Window Maker much. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I tried a lot of Window Managers and desktop environments and usually ended up back on either K Desktop Environment or Sawfish. Obviously everyone’s heard of KDE but I don’t see many people talking about Sawfish.

I never really liked GNOME much either; even when everyone was running it in the 2.x days.

Enlightenment was (and still is) cool though and in my opinion never got enough credit.

BeOS aesthetics (and the OS as a whole) will always have a special place in my heart too.

Ultimately this all just boils down to personal preference. I’m definitely not suggesting that you’re wrong nor weird for liking Window Maker (if anything, I’m probably the weird one…)



I actually preferred stock afterstep over windowmaker, but I agree with you in that I preferred any windows manager with a taskbar.
