I've been using MWM and the same .mwmrc since AIX in 1991. Same palette, same decor, same .Xdefaults. I've yet to see a GUI (FVWM, KDE, Gnome) that offers something X/Athena/Motif didn't nail 30+ years ago.

    Expect for the icons in the lower left corner, it actually looks surprisingly modern. Seeing VSCode and MWM in the same screenshot is oddly fascinating.

      Agreed. The X Window system is pretty damn amazing, despite its warts. Now that you say that, I've anthropomorphized MWM into this old-timer, reflecting what kind of programs it has seen run in it over the years, and what it will see in 30+ more years.
