	This has not my experience at all ! I'be been using GWM
successfully for years. I find the rooms facility, amongst other
things, makes it more productive than any of the vanilla wm's like twm
etc..  (or virtual window matters for that matter...personal
preference). I believe the wool lisp style was designed for speed ie
no lists/cons stuff.
