dwm is shit

http://dwm.suckless.org/

dwm is only a single binary, and its source code is intended to never exceed 2000 SLOC.

I've downloaded it and the source file is 2146 lines long, with only 22 lines of comments. dwm is bloated garbage.

actually I really like dwm, I've been using it for months. I even submitted a patch.

it's dwb i don't care for. how can you call a browser minimalist if it still uses a very large library for 99% of the work.

I still prefer wmii. I don't know why they seem to have disowned it.

I've just gotten rid of the annoying "dwm-6.0" in the upper right corner. dwm is actually nice, it's good having a WM whose source code is C that you can edit in 5 minutes.

It might be just MyMachine(tm) because I always had intermittent issues with dwm. Windows won't always switch between floating and tiled. Switching between screen doesn't mean the window on that screen will show. And input isn't always recognized.

I've settled with xmonad because those issues don't exist. It's a shame because dwm is much faster and not a memory hog.

Where is loliwm and explorer.exe? Chart is clearly lacking.

xmonad uses an order of magnitude more memory compared to dwm

That's not what the chart says.

Yes it is.
dwm - 1MB (2^0, i.e 01)
xmonad - 2MB (2^1, i.e 10)

that's an order of magnitude difference

Then according to you KDE also uses an order of magnitude more memory compared to dwm? Following your logic:
dwm - 1MB (201^0)
KDE - 201MB (201^1)

That's bullshit.
