It tries to stay out +of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more +important stuff. It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a +language to do any configuration. It was written by hackers for hackers and it +strives to be small, compact and fast. -This package contains an example scrotwm.conf and shell scripts -for it. +It was largely inspired by xmonad and dwm. Both are fine products but suffer +from things like: crazy-unportable-language-syndrome, silly defaults, +asymmetrical window layout, "how hard can it be?" and good old NIH. Nevertheless +dwm was a phenomenal resource and many good ideas and code was borrowed from it. +On the other hand xmonad has great defaults, key bindings and xinerama support, +but is crippled by not being written in C. |
