I'm a web front-end designer, code geek at heart. So naturally I 
gravitated towards Linux and the openness of the code. One thing I've 
always found baffling with Linux, is the amount of Window Manger's as a 
whole. Personally I like the traditional set-up (Mate and/or Cinnamon), 
but the gloss of Gnome 3 and KDE 4.x have fancied me greatly.

My question to the group is, When is too much? Can there be too much? 
Personally I think a more unified WM across all distros will help 
greatly bring Linux more in focus of the mass user base. What are 
everyones thoughts on Window managers and as desktop users, system 
admins and such, how does this mass cluster of varies WM's effect your 
work, does it effect your work?

Ponder, respond!
