    All DEs are jank. The only good DE is the tiling wm I put 10k lines of config into.

    Don’t get me wrong, that’s also janky, but it’s my fault jank.

      Yes but what if you need to set up a computer for public use at a community center or a library or something? You shouldn’t expect the visitors to know your custom config. Until there’s a tiling WM that also has GUI elements that enforce the principle of discoverability, I think off-the-shelf DE’s are the only viable option for this usecase.

        Sorry, I though my comment was sufficiently self-humerous 😅

        Of course custom configs are not suitable for anyone but the config-urator. Hence, custom configs :D
