@BrodieOnLinux
When someone says that window managers are inherently superior to desktop environments (as a blanket statement)

- or that WMs are some kind of natural progression for advanced users while only beginners stay with DEs.

But then spend hours trying to recreate types of functionality that already just work automatically and integrated well in the DE that they were mocking.

@prlzx @BrodieOnLinux I don't use a WM, but you're missing the point of them: tiling

You might not have picked up on the intent of the response to Brodie's invite in effect deliberately make provocative posts (mostly in jest with an element of truth).

To be clear I am in no way knocking WMs and people should use whatever they like anyway.

It was a comment on how trendy coverage sometimes verges towards sneering at DE users as inherently less advanced but then post an hour long video recreating some feature manually that would be built (...)

@TheFrenchGhosty @BrodieOnLinux into a DE.

Besides I meant WMs as the generic concept and not the more specific class of tiling WMs. I mean Blackbox, Openbox and their derivatives are also WMs and I respect what they do.
