Echoed strongly.
If CTWM goes the bloat route trying to patch in every whizbang feature,
and fluff, I'll just stay with what I've got, and port 3.5 when I need to.
ctwm is functional, not gaudy. If you want gaud, you're not going to
consider ctwm without a major re-write, and if you want lean and mean
you aren't going to consider ctwm afterwards.
ctwm is one of the only WMs left that is still just a WM, without trying
to be all things to all people. I'd prefer keeping it that way.
