KDE, XFCE, and GNOME gave me too much trouble: especially the keyboard escapes that worked that I had configured before an upgrade that no longer worked. And their configuration places were hidden. That is highly unable to happen with fluxbox with its text configuration files. So now I have the pain and suffering of typing sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /tmp/mntpt for my memory stick and camera card once in a while. Tough.

It was the first desktop I ever used under *nix and I have used it ever since. Tried Gnome and KDE a few times but in the end they just seem so bloated and uncustomizable. I'm running fluxbox (under Debian) on my high-end desktop, so it's not about saving precious resources - the desktop/WM is just that lovely and stable. Fluxbox is lovely.

I was surprised when I recently read about Fluxbox having descended from Blackbox. I used to use Blackbox with Windows XP several years ago.

I hope you go through all the semi-major WMs, it would be a good read.
