Although, I have used fvwm, fvwm2, AfterStep 1.0, and WindowMaker (for about a week). The main reason why I like KDE is because it works very well, and I also don't have to fuss with some *rc file. I've spent way too much time with .fvwmrc and .steprc in my limited unix experience. I would have probably learned alot more of the rest of the system if I didn't spend so much time perfecting the look and feel of my desktop. I think they're planning on making WindowMaker pretty much a full point and click enviroment, so maybe then I'll give it a try. (Don't quote me on that because I haven't been checking up the development of WindowMaker lately) :) Well, goodnight guys.
