If moving icons around a desktop is your thing, then WindowMaker is *not* your thing, since the main point of WMaker is *not* having icons hanging around [*]. That's probably why most users dislike it. Concerning the gloomy themes mentioned by somebody else, you can edit and customise literally everything through WPrefs. So if the standard themes look gloomy, just use your own preferred colours/backgrounds. WMaker doesn't choose for you.
