Can't speak for anyone but me...

I ran olvwm for a while on NetBSD/i386 and for a day or two on mac68k. I
happen to like the OpenLook GUI -- Motif is way too Windowsish for my
taste. But fvwm is faster, leaner, more stable and offers a "lazy
focus-follows-mouse mode" where a window keeps the focus until the mouse
enters another window. olvwm only has click-to-focus and the ordinary
focus-follows-mouse where a window loses focus the very moment the mouse
cursor leaves it.

Still, it's a pity Sun left OpenLook out in the cold to go with Motif.
