> What I am not okay with is myriad of linux window managers which are 99% the same generic window manager.

Not sure if you were there but this was way worse in the 1990's when Linux was still very young. Every person and their dog wrote a window manager (I know I wrote a shitty one) and until GNOME & KDE there was no DE to standardise around at all.

At least we have 3 or 4 fairly fully fledged desktop environments now as well as a 1000 different window managers.
