...i wanted both the fvwm's & ion's feature, which is not easy to do
when one has to remember the key bindings of both. As i was more
familiar & comfortable w/ fvwm, i st[ui]ck w/ it.

Fvwm (2.5.6 - 2.5.10) features i prefer...

  - shaded windows
  - virtual pager & representation
  - window list
  - (root) menu customization
  - large amount of things that can be binded w/ keys

Ion (20020207) features i prefer...

  - no overlapping windows
  - window organization was much better than FvwmTab of the time.
