Hi there, new xmonad user here ! I've been using and customizing it for the last 3 days. I like it very much and i think it's going to be my wm for the next decades... unless you drop devs or change license ? (My ion3 syndrom again, never mind ;-) So, this little word to say a big thank you for this great WM. I like everything about its design : unbloated, clever, vim oriented keybindings (although i guess emacs users can easyly make it to their taste), etc. Not to mention Haskell ! I'm not a developper but i learn Haskel and it's the first time i have pleasure doing so. Beautifull language ! I'll never try to learn C again :) The only thing i miss, so far, from ion3, is the ability to have non-dynamic layouts and the ability to call layouts by name, in order to bind them to a key. Some layouts are cool but only for some applications. Cycling through rarely used layouts is not convenient. I was also used to pop the scratchpad which i miss a little, but the more i do things the xmonad way, the less i feel the need for it. The only problem i had so far is with a JAVA/Swing application (blank window), but the solution http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/961 googled quickly. Anyway, my gratitude and my compliments to people involved in Xmonad developpement. Alexandre
