I'm rather partial to AfterStep. It's fairly configurable, can be
made to look very nice, but the most important thing (to me) is the
pager. Having become accustomed to CTL+Arrow keys to switch desktops,
and sloppy mouse + autoraise, I'm irritated by WM that don't have
them. : )
Anyone else: are there really any other differences between afterstep
and windowmaker? (outside of wm not having a pager, i mean). If you
like those button styles, afterstep can do them, so WM's plan to never
include a pager seems odd. I even remember checking www.plig.org's
poll for favorite xwm and seeing WM well ahead of AfterStep. At the
time, WM's web page said that it took more memory than afterstep, and
was less stable than afterstep. It seemed, in fact to encourage
people to use afterstep. ? That was quite a while ago...
