Re: Not the only game in town
"What I do want is multiple workspaces, a responsive window manager which stays out of the way, and a menu/taskbar/keyboard shortcuts to manipulate windows and access applications. I get that on Linux with an old-school, lightweight, minimalist window manager (Fluxbox in my case, Blackbox before that) which I have used happily for over two decades).
Then there is the NEXTStep/Window Maker/Mac OS model - doesn't work particularly for me, but clearly does for many."
I use WindowMaker with multiple workspaces for exactly the reasons you gave; what doesn't work for you about it?
