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. + +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. + +WWW: http://www.peereboom.us/scrotwm/html/scrotwm.html |
