“Is your window manager too clunky, or maybe too flashy for you?
Then why not try on Sawfish, the new, extensible window manager
that is quickly taking the open source world by storm? Sawfish is
an extensive window manager designed from the ground up with speed
and flexibility in mind. In the world of high-performance
computing, many users forget there’s someone out there without all
the latest hardware, and that’s where Sawfish comes in.”
“One of Enlightenment’s biggest threats is Sawfish. The young
window manager first emerged as Sawmill, and made a change of name
rather quickly, due to copyright reasons. Sawfish utilizes the Lisp
language, which allows it to be very configurable. Unfortunately,
this configuration doesn’t come easy. Since it uses the Lisp
scripting language, you’ll need to be good at wading through
configuration files. Thankfully, many users are choosing Sawfish,
and creating custom configuration files, as well as themes and
other additions to spice up your Sawfish configuration.”
“If you live on the bleeding edge of development, Sawfish
may be your thing. Additionally, if you enjoy tweaking your
configuration and don’t mind working with Emacs and some
configuration files, Sawfish may be exactly what you’re looking
for. On the other hand, if you want a flashy desktop with very
little work, Enlightenment is your only choice. With version 0.17
coming soon, you can expect E’s speed and usability to improve to
meet many users demands and make the famous window manager even
more popular.”
