The older I get, the more I get the urge to return to monke, and just use tmux. Maybe on friday I go all out and boot up a GUI with some type of nifty nature wallpapers showing through my terminals.

FVWM is completely legit as well, albeit a little heavy when compared to TWM or my favorite Rio, with Acme of course. Heavy is relative in this sense, I've run FVWM on reprogrammed childrens toys with the processing power of a warm potato.

I went on a wm hunt in the early/mid 90's as well on my (company provided) SPARCStation. I went through all I could find and compile, but I landed on either fvwm or twm; the memory escapes me. I remember an interesting one ("piewm"?) that had its menus originate radially like pie-slices instead of a dropdown to the right; the theory being that you would have to move your mouse less to get to any given option.

I honestly don't understand the OP's hatred of fvwm, but people like different things.

I actually really liked TWM, and thought it was distinctly underrated.

How about a WM-equivalent of tmux, where you can put graphical windows into a detached state, and open them on a different computer?
