I use Window Maker, not LXDE (Score: 3, Interesting) by tanuki64@pipedot.org on 2014-10-24 21:45 (#2TPC) But should one day for whatever reasons Window Maker not be available anymore, LXDE is probably quite on top of the alternatives I would try.simple, intuitive, and stays the heck out of your way so you can work.Perfect.Two desktop environments, which I probably never will use: GNOME and KDE = bloat. At least for me. I installed KDE for my wife and she is happy with it.

The relief is tangible. Even though I set up my XFCE environment to be NextSteppy, using a dock and such, it is a million little things which Window Maker does perfectly and XFCE doesn't even do at all... but possibly the biggest thing, my environment does not change beyond all recognition with every upgrade, features do not disappear from beneath my finger tips while I try to use them... the actual broader implications and meanings of the word stability become apparent and real productivity follows.
