Wow, I thought I was the only one running mwm! I have one of the
original source distributions and have been carrying it with me
all these years. Now it is running on a dual screen machine under
OpenBSD 3.4. Although it was considered slow and bloated when it
came out (14+ years ago), nowadays the same code is considered
fast and slim (times change).
BTW this is what I really really really like about source distributions,
you do not depend on the vendor to port the software.

Hey, I like your reasons! That's exactly why I run it! Though I
find the concept of considering MWM to be a lightweight window
manager to be mind boggling, but today it is. The other WM I've been
known to use in the past couple years is TWM, but I really don't like
it.

I'm not that lucky, I have to depend on a vendor.
Of course all this talk about lightweight Window Managers, and I'm
writing this on a Mac OS X box which has one of the heaviest GUI's
around (which is the one thing I don't like about it).
