Yes, I misunderstood you.. Some people for whatever reasons
believe window manager only GUIs are "limited" or "inferior" to desktop
environments. I thought you were one, and was trying to correct that
misconception. My apologies. For the record, I'm not advocating
abolishing the Desktop environment. I believe in choice. As much as
possible. Most people want automatic transmission. I prefer manual.
To each his own.
