Esoteric? I think you mean undervalued. It works, hasn’t changed in backwards-incompatible ways and isn’t trying to mimic Microsoft. I’ve used it for years.

Windowmaker has not lost its effectiveness, as I see it used in many KIOSK devices with a very limited features (like possibility to open WWW browser, text editor, videoeditor and skype) and it works great, people who never has used it, understand it right away.

Windowmaker has already features what Microsoft is adding to Windows 8. Tiles what surrounds the information. And now more than ever, Windowmaker works even better as we have stupid 16:9 format screens wasting space. Even that Windowmaker was designed and is great for 4:3 format, it works even today well.

Few things what I am waiting for, are a new themes, icons and actually updating the whole environment to modern time. Think KDE Plasma as the theme engine where we would have transparent and glass effect for tiles. A Oxygen iconset used in tiles and shadows under window.
Just updating the Windowmaker look would bring it to modern era and even to “post-PC” time what everyone are trying to market

I hope this doesn’t mean we all have to write our documents in German only now. I believe that was promoted once or twice before without much success ;o)

Comment on Wot? No games for Linux? Not true! by Alex B

Between ID, the excellent Humble Indie Bundles and all the emulators, there are plenty of games for Linux – and that’s without considering WINE to play Windows games!
