On the off-chance this is not flame bait and you are serious, the 
answers are simple.

1. Gnome's window manager metacity
  A. does not allow users to set different pictures on different workspaces
  B. has no window shade function
  C. does not allow any user configuration of neat functions, such as 
dragging windows off one workspace onto another (without using the pager)
  D. has no root window menu (and the one from nautilus really is crappy)

2.  Fluxbox, oh, nevermind.  It is weak in all of the same ways, plus it 
is ugly.
