It's quite a difficult decision to make, I think. With some tools,
like terminals, if they don't appear instantly it gets quite
irritating. A strcmp isn't going to change things, but it's best to
strip out all you can. But clearly Jon finds this behaviour useful...
(Straying from the topic a little,)
The trouble is, 'suckless' is a slippery pyramid, and it's difficult
to find the apex. The question we need to ask ourselves is, how do we
make this nicer to use than a similar tool? Only for very bloated
programs is the answer just "make it do less". We need to add
something else, too: dwm isn't great because it does less, it's great
for its dynamic tiling and its tags.
Trouble is, finding that something else is difficult.
