Famous Internet personality Xah Lee has graced XMonad with one of his classic reviews: http://xahlee.org/linux/why_tiling_window_manager_sucks.html

Is "famous internet personality" the same as those "celebrities" who are famous for being famous? :p

I love how he complains because using key bindings causes RSI *and* interferes with his emacs key bindings.

And how he didn't just tweak the defaults to use the keybindings he wants...

Did anyone have to tweak any appreciable numer of applications to work with XMonad? The only thing I did as keepass, since I wanted it's global hot key to use the same bucky bit as XMonad.

The only tweak I did was to emacs' default naming scheme for multiple buffers with the same filename, but that strictly speaking was for xmobar, not xmonad.

I also have to wonder if I may have inspired him: http://blog.mired.org/2011/11/why-mac-ui-sucks.html
