I guess I don't see the contradiction: given finite memory, you'd want as much for your applications as possible, right? We don't buy computers to run window managers, after all. And even if 100MB seems 'small' nowadays, it's as valid as ever to point out that maybe that's 100x more memory usage than some other piece of software. Besides, it's interesting to see that E17 is hardly 'lightweight', and XFCE is actually 'heavier' than MATE. WindowMaker (woo hoo!) is surprisingly 'lighter' than Awesome. I'm glad it will cut down on the X-is-slow-use-Y-instead-it's-lighter crap. Hearsay and fanboyism are endemic to linux wms, it seems.
