- Not to start a religious war or anything but, as a user of both windowing

- etc.

- I use mostly X stuff now, but the thing I still use from the DM is the pads.
- I prefer my DM transcript pad to an xterm because it keeps input and output
- interleaved in the right order even when I type ahead, and it shows me how
- much of the input has been read. I like my edit pads because I'm used to
- them, and they are faster (both to start and to run) than the other editor I
- use (emacs).

- Although I don't use the DM window manager any more, one feature that I miss
- is the window defaults. With tvtwm I can arrange for all xterms to come up
- at semi-random locations, or for all to come up at the same location, but I
- can't get them to come up in a set of locations that get cycled through
- every time I start a new xterm. This is not an intrinsic limitation of the
- X window system and could be hacked with an appropriate window manager.
