Hard to say for me without knowing much about FVWM, but I can fore sure tell one thing my window manager (KDE's KWin) can do that FVWM can't : Focus stealing prevention - mechanism that prevents inactive windows from taking focus while you're working in the active application (and no, this is not just don't-focus-new-windows). And I can try guessing more things: Showing newly started app on the virtual desktop where it was started even if the active virtual desktop has changed meanwhile; simple(r) configuration, ability to create a decoration plugin with any look&feel you want.
I have to admit though that there's probably no much for FVWM in terms of configurability.
