It was the first GUI for Linux, back in ’92. Once X-Windows was able to support my video card I moved to that. Then in ’94 I had to move to a laptop with only 4MB RAM, so I used MGR until a version of X-Windows was released that would work well with only 4MB RAM. In both cases, I was mainly after the DVI viewer for TeX, and multiple terminal windows. Then again, even today, the main reason I use X-Windows is for multiple terminal windows. :-) Between ’92 and roughly ’96, X-Windows drove all my RAM purchases, after that it was graphics software and web browsers.
