I discovered that my mostly vanilla XMonad was basically the same as DWM. My only gripe with DWM is that I needed to patch the code, compile, and install my own to turn my worthless windows key into the magic window manager key.
I feel like DWM takes non-configurability literally one key too far.
- eugeneionesco 10y agoI agree, it makes no sense NOT to have a ~/.dwm.conf :(
- rakoo 10y agoYes it does. It's that much code that needs to parse config files and translate it to useful configuration. Oh and of course it needs to be backwards-compatible. The dwm authors believe there already is something to write your configuration, parse it, test that its syntax is valid and use it to configure the thing: the C toolchain.
- jck 10y agoThat's the suckless philosophy. I think it's ridiculous.
