I like that TWM has not changed in the last 20 years, but I do not like that it
has not kept up with modern usage. Plus a window manager itself does not
provide consistency of system operation, or encourage application consistency.
TWM on my computer can be unusable to another TWM user.
Desktop environments are the right way to go. I want to login and see the same
basic applications, with a program manager/menu in the same place, all using
the same keyboard shortcuts every time. Not that it could happen now, but we
need a Microsoft for the nix world.
