IceWM used to be the fallback window manager in some OpenSUSE installations (haven't made any for a while, so no idea whether that is still the case). If you configured your desktop environment to death or your machine was very short on memory you could still get a simple graphical session. I don't think I needed it more twice over 5-10 years.
Reading the FAQ looks like a jump 15-25 years back. They mention Windows95, xmodmap instead of XKB for example. No mentioning of 4K displays or multiple monitors. Whether that's a good or bad thing? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
Seems very configurable without getting a resource hog. If you enjoy tweaking things on your old 1GB RAM laptop this might be for you.
I did not see that it competes to replace my i3 (tiling only), so I stay with the latter for now.
