You must know that dwm is a tiling window manager, it organizes
windows for you to occupy maximum space. Windows can be floated, like
in a stacking window manager, but this is not what dwm was built for.
dwm is keyboard-oriented and has familiar bindings to vim users.

Window list shouldn't be needed anymore. You can customize the border
by patching the sauce yourself.

Yes.
You should also consider grabbing dmenu and st.
