Standalone Sysadmin: Desktop Workspaces: "The rest of the time, I'm in WindowMaker, and the reason is that, after 7 years, I'm blindingly fast.
I can open terminal windows, type commands, and get the responses faster than someone in Windows could click on the putty icon. I've got WindowMaker setup to dynamically create desktops, so if I need a new working space, I just scroll past the last existing one. It consumes nearly no resources, and it gives amazing amount of desktop space."
