Actually, twm has quite a bit of fluff itself.  Title bars, menus,
icons, etc.  And that's just from the user-interface poin of view;
since it's an Xt-using program, it's got a huge amount of fluff at the
code level.  (My take on it is "title bars belong in Hollywood; menus
belong in restaurants; icons belong in shrines".  My window manager has
none of them - and uses Xlib directly.)

Not that I have anything against fluff per se.  Nor do I think that
someone who likes it shouldn't use such a WM.  But I don't want fluff
in my day-to-day GUI.
