About windowmanager

Hello,

I am thinking of switching to windowmaker. I wanted to ask why you are using windowaker, and what advantages dockapps have over the panels in xfce, gnome or macos?

Regards

I've been using Windowmaker since the late 1990s.  I've run it under Solaris, Fedora and now Ubuntu.  It's **fast** and things load quickly.  I mostly launch things from the menu tool you access by right-clicking on the screen.  It's easy to add apps to it and it takes up no space on the desktop.  I don't bother with dockapps myself.

Windowmaker is very much a mouse-centric system.  I'm a boomer and mousing is the way I like to work. 

The feature which sold me on Windowmaker was the ability to drag a window from one screen to the next, or to just move it by with a right-click in the top bar and choosing which screen to send it to.  The only real downside I see to Windowmaker is that there's nobody to really teach you what you can do with it and you have to fool with it to discover what it's capable of.
