Philosophy

garbeam@47:

garbeam@47: As founder and main developer of wmii I came to the conclusion that garbeam@47: wmii is too clunky for my needs. I don't need so many funky features garbeam@47: and all this hype about remote control through a 9P service, I only garbeam@47: want to manage my windows in a simple, but dynamic way. wmii never got garbeam@47: finished because I listened to users, who proposed arbitrary ideas I garbeam@47: considered useful. This resulted in an extreme CADT model garbeam@47: of developmentwhich was basically my mistake. Thus the philosophy of garbeam@47: dwm is to fit my needs. That's it. garbeam@47:

Differences to wmii

garbeam@34: In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else. garbeam@36: Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. garbeam@34:
