Couldn't tell you.  It's just a windows manager, and an older one at that.  I have to go through some gyrations to get it going on my OpenSuSe installs these days, but since I can't stand KDE or Gnome, I go through the pain anyway.

When all is said and done I turn off GoodButtons and just have the Pager on screen.  So I have no bar on any side, no icons on my desktop.  The only thing visible is the Pager area, and I set it up for 5x4 virtual screens, so I have 20 screens to choose from.  Menus are accessed from anywhere on the desktop, using the left or right mouse buttons.  Fast, efficient, leaves me all the windows space.

But...  I'm old-school.  I also use VIM in Xterms for almost all of my work.  The only exception is that I use Eclipse for Java at work.
