> In the words of its homepage, Ion "brings a text-editorish, keyboard friendly
> user interface to window management". Ion rejects the desktop metaphor,
> instead giving you screens divided into frames which never overlap. Because
> of this, you can't lose an open window (which has always been one of by big
> complaints about window managers). You never have to use the mouse if you
> don't want to (unless the program you're using requires it). I found it easy
> to set up and use. So far it's the best minimalist window manager I've used
> (next to uwm, now my second favorite window manager). If you use the command
> line a lot, it's worth a look.
