Requiring GHC as a dependency is a real drag on evangelizing xmonad, and for adoption.
This is perfectly true. Someone here said that "124 MB is not a lot, are you sure its a problem?". Well, it bloody is, its just killing the idea of using a light window manager. If I wanted to scuk 124 MB just to manage my windows, I would install Gnome or KDE. I am in the market for lightweight tiling window managers, because I like to keep my software light. So far in my life since about 2004 I have gone the path: ion -> ratpoison -> wmii -> xmonad My main requirement is that is must not depend on the mouse, and wmii has some things you can only do with the mouse, like moving floating windows, which is unacceptable to me. But now I see, that to configure xmonad I need to install a huge new programming language which I would not use for anything else, so I think I'll try awesome. I might go back to wmii some time in the future, once the things that you can only do with the mouse now, are doable with the keyboard. -- Miernik http://miernik.name/
