dwm. A while back, I stumbled across dwm.vim[0] which, although clunky at times, has proven itself to be really useful in my Vim workflow. It was inspired from the actual dwm[1] project which I looked into later. The key bindings are quite different from Vim, but are easy to pick up on the whole. Prior to dwm, I ran WindowMaker well beyond its prime (as in, I dropped it less than a year ago). I still have a sweet spot in my heart for that WM.

I also switched from WindowMaker to DWM only this year, after having used it for a very, very long time. My only complaint about WindowMaker is it doesn't handle Chromium very well. (Never looked into that, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's Chromium's fault.) It doesn't matter that WindowMaker is "past its prime", it achieved perfection in 1998. :-) I always thought that people who run tiled WMs must be crazy, ever since trying out ion in the early 2000s. But now I'm one of them. It's honestly pretty good.

  After switching to dwm a few years back I wouldn't dream of switching away. The tags (which are not workspaces) really are a killer feature, and the simplicity makes it win over other tag based WMs. Anyway, what's your problem with Chromium? I'm using dwm and Chromium daily, and have no issues.

    Sorry for not making it clear enough, issue was with WindowMaker and Chromium. (I will edit to make it clearer.) WindowMaker draws its own decorations around the window which doesn't fit with what Chromium is trying to do. When I tell WMaker to not put decorations on Chromium, then some windows which need decorations don't get them.

      No, rereading your post now it's very clear what you meant (unless you have edited:) My mistake, I must not have been reading properly - or more likely, was too tired and should have headed to bed instead of posting. Apologies for the noise, and enjoy your dwm usage :)
