   One of the things I like most about using a WM on a multi-monitor computer instead of a DE is the ability to set separate workspaces to each monitor without having to install anything additional. It's just a matter of writing a couple of lines in your config. I no longer have to drag windows out of my view, I see them if I want to.

   It has been a discovery that allows you to work faster and smoother.

     @samurro Speed. For example, if I use Win+3 the focus moves to the window placed on the top monitor which is where workspace 3 is. I don't need to select the window from the list as I do when I use Alt+Tab, I just select the window because I know where it is.

     I also don't need to drag and drop to get rid of windows I don't need at that moment. I open them and they go to the desired workspace and monitor automatically.

     @alejandrobdn Did you never use alt + tab on a DE? Whats the difference for a twm to use "Switch to Desktop X"?
