| 26 As founder and main developer of wmii I came to the conclusion that | |
| 27 wmii is too clunky for my needs. I don't need so many funky features | |
| 28 and all this hype about remote control through a 9P service, I only | |
| 29 want to manage my windows in a simple, but dynamic way. wmii never got | |
| 30 finished because I listened to users, who proposed arbitrary ideas I | |
| 31 considered useful. This resulted in an extreme <a href="http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html">CADT model</a> | |
| 32 of developmentwhich was basically my mistake. Thus the philosophy of | |
| 33 dwm is to fit my needs. That's it. | |
