OK, there has been a lot a talk regarding Windows Managers lately. Any thoughts on cdeSiM vs KDE/Window Maker?
OK, just to get the ball rolling. I haven't seen cdeSIM, only CDE & I've only seen WindowMaker screenshots but who says opinions have to be informed. I believe the window managers you speak of fall into the following categories: CDE: Classic case of designed by committee. Big seller so quite likely the worst option. KDE: Clean & simple. Designed to get work done in. Designed with making Unix easier to work with in mind. Switch to Devil's advocate WindowMaker: I can't comment on it's productivity but it looks like another way to unleash artistic talents on the desktop like Enlightenment. A friend of mine summed this up nicely once: "When I was at school there were people who did the necessary revision and passed their exams, and then there were the people who spent most of their time writing detailed revision timetables and when they realised they were going to have to start revising, they coloured them in." The bottom line, though, is that it's nice to have the choice & to have the freedom to pick and choose an environment that suits our different personalities (have I just implied that I'm simple and dull ?)
