I've used software like that before... but it was generally something I
whipped up for my own use. My settings were all that mattered. Looking at
the dwm page, I would say that it fits the same profile, made for the
author, if it happens to work for someone else fine, if someone wants
something close they are free to change it.
dwm has both idiosyncrasies and a learning curve, but
so too do most
"expert" pieces of software. vim and emacs are the canonical examples,
I never did get anywhere with those two. Ed and Vi mostly, though I think
I have forgotten most of it. I found joe and used it ever after... it's
still my main CLI text ed.
