I could name any number of projects from single or just one or two developers that have quality and stability that much larger projects don't Ralf.

I can recall themes and formats of Enlightenment that were too avant garde for me to be bothered with from just a few years ago. Enlightenment now, is nothing like that. I have an enlightenment desktop that has hidden panels that stay away until I need them, and a desktop nobody would be able to put a name to, with all the working real estate I need and any number of virtual windows required. And all for a minimal footprint. I know what the OP is talking about, because I've run XFce, and didn't see the point when all I was getting was all the Gnome kludge I was trying to get away from: that didn't last long at all. https://imgur.com/Qzt1u8R > If you want to avoid tiling window managers, but want to get something > really small, take a look at JWM, it comes close to Openbox and at > least on Linux it is as rock-solid as Openbox is. > > However, when I migrated away from Xfce years ago on Linux, I tested a > lot of alternatives and ended with JWM and Openbox.
