xmonad: a review

08Feb09

Matthew Jones has written a 6 month review of xmonad, XMonad: A tiling window manager written in Haskell.

Some choice quotes:

I’ve been using xmonad for the last 6 months and it is simply beautiful.

Another thing that impresses me is how well it handles multiple displays and multiple desktops. .. the way that xmonad handles this is very elegant.

Since I have been using it it has crashed exactly zero times.

Thanks Matthew, this kind of feedback is inspiring!
