-Scrotwm is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11. It tries
-to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be
-used for much more important stuff. It has sane defaults and does
-not require one to learn a language to do any configuration. It
-was written by hackers for hackers and it strives to be small,
-compact and fast.
+Scrotwm is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11. It tries to stay out
+of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more
+important stuff. It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a
+language to do any configuration. It was written by hackers for hackers and it
+strives to be small, compact and fast.
-This package contains an example scrotwm.conf and shell scripts
-for it.
+It was largely inspired by xmonad and dwm. Both are fine products but suffer
+from things like: crazy-unportable-language-syndrome, silly defaults,
+asymmetrical window layout, "how hard can it be?" and good old NIH. Nevertheless
+dwm was a phenomenal resource and many good ideas and code was borrowed from it.
+On the other hand xmonad has great defaults, key bindings and xinerama support,
+but is crippled by not being written in C.
