Personally, I like the ultra-configurability and flexibility of ion-- but also dislike its ultra-configurability and flexibility. ;) Too many keybindings to remember, IMHO, and that interfers with my recall of Emacs keybindings. OTOH, ratpoison is quite simple, and it mimics screen(1)'s bindings (even the ratpoison's author describes it as screen(1) for X). Of course, I could always rebind ion to more screen-like bindings, but I'm a lazy oaf. ;) > If you're the type who believes in the notion of a computer desktop > being an instrumentation panel, and loves xterms *seriously*, then > there's no beating CLI-friendly WMs like ones the above, as well as > others like icewm and flux. I don't see the desktop as an instrumentation panel, but I am very keyboard-intensive, being a touch typist. I love CLI goodness, and prefer keybindings to mouse movement. -- JM Ibanez -- A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men. -- Bertrand Russell ----- http://www.livejournal.com/~jmibanez/ http://www.mycgiserver.com/~butiki/ _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
