Hi,
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.
Exactly, since it performs its duties well...
We complete WindowMaker for its experience as a Workspace. Which sense
does it make to run GWorkspace inside GNOME? WindowMaker does not
compete with GNOME, luckily!
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.
Yes, I perfectly understand. When GNUstep still run on Solaris 2.6, I
took the time to integrate GNUstep+Windowmaker as a full parified option
into dtlogin, so you could choose it along "CDE" and "OpenLook".
