Dead or not, I've been using WindowMaker as my window manager since the 
mid-1990s, on Solaris, Linux, and AIX, every day, and very often over VPN.  
I've never had it crash; never had to fuss with it.  Being old doesn't 
disqualify it from being good at what it does.  It was usable over dial-up when 
nothing else was.

I can't say anything good about GNOME.  It was installed as part of the 'Sun 
Java Desktop System' when I upgraded my U60 here at home to Solaris 10, and 
made that machine practically useless for local desktop use, it was so insanely 
slow.  Removing GNOME from it was like excising a cancer.
