Bah...KDE is a mess of bloated eye candy.  This movement in DEs to 
flashy, spinning, animated chaos nauseates me.
I want a WM that is small, efficient, quick, and mostly out of my way.
All I really want it do to is allow me to configure key bindings easily, 
have multiple workspaces, and a pager.
Thus, I prefer fluxbox or openbox (using OB at the moment).

Probably if I knew DOS commands as well as I know bash (which, 
admittedly, still isn't that great, but enough to be able to do what I 
want with it), I'd get along a little better with windows, but, 
honestly, even if that were the case, I think I'd still feel like I was 
driving a car with the hood welded shut.
