I wonder why you suddenly get edgy when I tell someone that they could
consider choosing another alternative.

If you want to choose an alternative that other people see as having
problems, that's fine. I'm not telling anyone what choice to make. I
didn't say which wm TO use, nor which one I use, because I want people to
evaluate the alternatives for themselves. I merely alluded to the
potential positive consequences that might result from choosing a
different window manager. Choices have consequences.

Trying to avoid criticism of software defects by asking people to be kind,
loving, and cooperative is the last thing free software needs to improve.
If you want people to stop criticizing E, go fix it so that unbiased,
uninitiated new users don't repeatedly come to the conclusion that other
window managers are faster/more stable/whatever.
