    FVWM.

    I feel like the “desktop environment” is a Faustian bargain. You get a plateload of software that looks consistent, but none of it is best of breed.

    I can recall being a bit wowed by the original KDE 1.0 betas on my old 486, when Konqueror was the file manager as much as the browser, but in the end it felt like thry were trying to recreate the experience you got wth the pack-in software of Windows 95.

    And **** GNOME for really pushing the client-side decorations model. I configured my window manager to put the title bar and close button where I want it, thank you.
