The developers of AfterStep, many AfterStep users, and I feel the
description of the wmaker package (version 0.20.3-5) included with
Debian 2.1 distribution is unfair:
"Written by Alfredo Kojima (http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~kojima) almost
from
scratch, it's better looking and faster than AfterStep, and
resembles
OpenStep more closely."
1. It is not better looking, or faster. These are relative terms,
AfterStep
can look very cool and clean, and be fast at the same time, but
so can
Window Maker. However, Window Maker is limited in its looks,
and really
can't look as good as AfterStep can.
2. AfterStep can be configured to resemble OpenStep more closly
than Window
Maker does. It just does not do so by default.
Basically we feel that any reference to AfterStep, and the
suggestion of
Window Maker's superiority should be removed from the description
of
Window Maker.
If this could be fixed before the next release of Debian (which I
understand is coming soon), it would be greatly appreciated.
