Pervasive contempt

It's probably common to most of us who grew up with fvwm and other similar '2D gridded infinite screen' window managers. They seem to be out of favour these days in favour of completely-separate-desktop 1D window managers, and I have no idea why -- apparently it's *useful* to be able to lose your windows off the edge of every screen rather than only those at the edge of the grid, or something.
