    It looks and certainly works better that herbstlufwm, that comes with almost any Antix install. Why aren’t we using this customized dwm instead of herbstluftwm?!

    because … (add individual reason) – here’s mine.

    I’m the dev and I use herbstluftwm and not dwm

    Yes. Remember that on one hand antiX is extremely flexible and you can fairly easily create your own derivation, if you put the time, research, and effort into it. As anticapitalista says, though the interests and feedback are relevant, when choices are ultimately made, it IS his creation and therefore his choice. Any of us is free to use what’s here and create either our own spin or our own distribution. We’re also free to create something from scratch.

    I’m glad that many of us look at other choices and options; that’s what free software is all about. Expecting someone to do whatever we want without expending their own effort is unreasonable and unwarranted. For those who want something else, this IS a fantastic platform for making something else. I personally do it all the time. For me, I’m not making something to support; my contributions are to test and promote software, encourage freedom, and assist in moderating this forum. Others are always welcome to invent, suggest, create, test, whatever we do best. Some suggestions have many times been added to this work, yet that is never a guarantee. What is guaranteed is that freely available software is provided, often with source code available to modify as needed.

    Best wishes to all.
