In my understanding, the unix way is "do just one thing and do it
good". A single program does not need to be flexible, but instead you
are flexible by stacking simple programs together as you like (shell
scripts, pipes etc.)

dwm arranges the windows on the screen, nothing more, nothing less.
No program icons, no desktop environment, no notification services.
