wmii is among that 2%:
- it can be scripted in any language, also in your language of choice
- it is free from restrictions; you may also sublicense it to your free license of choice

ion fulfills neither. I assume you get that 98% of user unsatisfaction, if your 98%/2% numbers are correct.

  Exactly.

  To those who feel too limited by ion's complexity or Tuomo's opinions, I would recommend wmii. I successfully migrated from ion3 to wmii and don't regret it. The migration is easy since they're feature-alike, and it's faster to customize.
