I discovered it few weeks ago, I like the main feature ("vi" like
modes). Actually it's quite buggy (many applications segfaults when you
switch fullscreen and sometimes windows flicker a lot without any
reason) but the developper seems to work quite hard and the next release
should fix everything. It's clearly much less powerfull than ion but it
has quite no dependecies.
