Just something I came across today. It is nice to see my favorite WindowManager way on top :-)

Five window managers beat KDE?

And KDE and Xfce are ranked even lower?

Who's voting in this?

This isn't even close to the truth. There is no way GNOME, KDE, and XFCE are beat by Window Maker... I think he's still counting old votes, from the days when Window Maker and other Window managers were very popular.

GNOME and KDE aren't window managers. Metacity and KWM (or whatever it's called) are.

But they're still listed in the poll.

I know, the poll's wrong.

Metacity gets 8 votes and Window Maker gets 1221? That site has a very high percentage of Window Maker users.
