Now, I do not really care if AfterStep moves towards or away
from anything. I do not care if it fits into something or not.
I want to have a good-looking, fast environment and there it
is. I did try a few others, no luck. Whether AS is gonna be
something-compliant or not is not something I can loose my
sleep over.
As for the diversity of the window managers being currently
developed - so what? People are free to participate in any
project they like. You are free to choose the environment you
like. If someone feels that there ain't a window manager (or
any application, for that matter) that suits his needs - he
just writes one. That's where the diversity comes from.
I personally like the diversity and I like being able to choose.
I would hate to be stuck with a single WM like people running
Windows are stuck with the same look and feel.
Cheers,
Albert
