It offers a more faithful win95-style interface than fvwm95. It is also one of the few not derived from twm or fvwm and despite being written in C++ it is actually smaller than any of the fvwm derivatives I've tried. Also, not be a hacked version of a hacked version of a hacked version of twm, the source code is quite clear should you want to look at it. Once or twice a month it blows up on me but my xsession falls back to mwm when that happens. (Interesting challenge: can anyone find a window manager that consumes MORE memory, or has FASTER memory leaks than mwm?) -john
