Like almost everyone here I only recall this DE/WM with nostalgia. It’s interesting to see how minimal it is now. It felt like the height of maximalism back then. And on very weak hardware had compositing.
I would say in the old days (2001-2002) it was more like a "minimax". It was maximal minimalist. It had really fancy visuals that worked on fairly slow hardware. I was blown away.
I remember when this came out. It was so cool to see all effects and nice graphics. I did not even know it still existed. Either way great work and nice to see it back.
It's been in development for 26 years and still isn't 1.0, I wonder what the criteria for that is.

I can't believe this crash ridden peice of WM Still exist.. It was horror just to setup something.
They should use AI to organize the change notes as well.
