  I can't remember why, but 5 days ago I just started using dwm[1].  Ah,

  yes,  that's  why:  I've  been  playing  with  CDE,   see   entry   on

  2012-09-10[2].   I  realized  that  I  don't  need  all  of  Awesome's

  features. When I started using a tiling WM, I did indeed need them  --

  because  I  wasn't yet used to tiling. I had a different workflow. All

  this has changed.

  dwm has the potential to put an end to my window manager  journey.  It

  does  the job, it's fast and it's stable. It has no dependencies other

  than X11 itself. Its code is a lot easier to understand than Awesome's

  code.

  (Awesome  could  easily  die.  We don't know what the future holds for

  XCB.  Awesome-git is very different from  Awesome-stable,  thus  there

  would  have been a lot of work to port my elaborate configuration once

  the  next  version  is  released.  It's  all  about  complexity.  Kill

  complexity.)
