Re: FVWM: fvwm3? [on Wayland]

Yes, I too like a simple mwm-like look, but even more I like the complete 
and easy customizability. I think there are proofs on the net of 
completely different looks. AND functionality ! It's not just a matter of 
changing a wallpaper.

I also do appreciate a lightweight wm (it usually runs at 1% CPU), or 
better I deprecate how heavy are some DE like KDE.

>> - Are people using FVWM for its binding/scripting support?

Yes, I added some of my own widgets, see reference below.

And I would add a fourth reason

]] - I use FVWM because its customization (even if it has a steep
      learning curve) is all concentrated in a single text file, so
      with a minimum of self-documentation one will always know where
      to go (unless those DE with infinite branches of GUIs)

These discussion instigated me to do sometyhing I lept pending for a 
couple of years, i.e. add some new screenshots to my FVWM doc page
referring to my current fvwrc on Ubuntu, which adds to a pluridecennial 
experience
