Look, I was a NeXT user for 7 years before I started using a Mac. I also contributed the GTK theme to the Windowmaker project, oh, 11 years ago or so. The above statement is not true, not even close. As someone who I'm guessing probably never logged into an account on a NeXT box it's ridiculous for you to say that. Window Maker is a nice window manager for X. In some ways it looks a little like NeXTSTEP or OPENSTEP, but that's comparing apples to oranges as the NeXT Mach OS's gui was a sophisticated, integrated environment, and WM is a window manager for X. Big difference. They FEEL nothing alike. “In every way possible, it reproduces the elegant look and feel of the NEXTSTEP user interface.”
