If it were possible for there to be a WM like this that was sufficiently configurable such that users of ratpoison, E17 and kwin (just as a sample) could all be switched to it without noticing the difference, don't you think it would have been developed by now? Nothing today or for a long time has prevented this, but it never happened. Why? What do you think has changed that will make this happen now?

Why?

It's simply that nobody cares much. I've seen a tiled window manager for Windows, btw.
