 IMHO, you're staggeringly wrong, good sir.
 I think dwm doesn't make *sense* if you can't edit the source and paste
together your favorite layouts/config to create your own personalized
WM. dwm can't ever be a packaged product ready for mass consumption - if
it is, it will be a different window manager, and we'll have to abandon
it and move on. Then a few years later someone will reinvent the wheel
and say "let's finally write a minimalist WM!"
 Without a configuration GUI, window decorations, pagers and whizbang,
dwm is irrevocably elitist, and at least I would like it to stay that
way.

 Mate
