MUCH better modern alternatives around

Sorry but this isn't 1998 and those WM's are hardly used by anyone anymore. Elightenment, Afterstep, Feeble WM? These are WM's who last saw any improvements anywhere from 5 to 10 years ago. Why go with something that has little to no userbase and thus cutting yourself off from a supportive community? IceWM fine, but as others have pointed out leaving out Fluxbox and especially XFCE is just unforgiveable. I understand these are the authors favorites but then again why write the article if its not meant to be helpful to users? I mean isn't that the point?
