-               <h2>Differences to wmii</h2     
-               <p>
-               In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
-               Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. dwm does
-               <b>not</b> include following features wmii provides:
-               </p>
-               <ul>
-                       <li>9P support</li>
-                       <li>status bar</li>
-                       <li>menu</li>
-                       <li>editable tagbars</li>
-                       <li>shell-based config/control file</li>
-                       <li>small tools (selection printer, mouse warper)</li>
-               </ul>
-               <p>
-               dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
-               exceed 2000 SLOC.
-               </p>
+               <h3>Philosophy</h3>
                <p>
                <p>
-               dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
-               extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which
-               hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names.
+               As founder and main developer of wmii I came to the conclusion that
+               wmii is too clunky for my needs. I don't need so many funky features
+               and all this hype about remote control through a 9P service, I only
+               want to manage my windows in a simple, but dynamic way. wmii never got
+               finished because I listened to users, who proposed arbitrary ideas I
+               considered useful. This resulted in an extreme <a
+               href="http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html">CADT</a> development model,
+               which was a mistake. Thus the philosophy of dwm is simply <i>to fit my
+               needs</i> (maybe yours as well). That's it.
                </p>
                </p>
+               <h3>Differences to ion, larswm, and wmii</h3>
                <p>
                <p>
-               dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler
-               than wmii or larswm).
-               </p>
-               <p>
-               dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or managed
-               layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are managed or not
-               managed, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- and
-               fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged. 
+               In contrast to ion, larswm, and wmii, dwm is much smaller, faster and simpler.
                </p>
                </p>
+               <ul>
+                       <li>
+                       dwm has no Lua integration, no 9P support, no menu, no editable
+                       tagbars, no shell-based configuration, no remote control, and comes
+                       without any additional tools like printing the selection or warping
+                       the mouse.
+                       </li>
+                       <li>
+                       dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
+                       exceed 2000 SLOC.
+                       </li>
+                       <li>
+                       dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however
+                       simpler than ion, wmii or larswm). It manages windows in
+                       tiling and floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically,
+                       depending on the application in use and the task performed.
+                       </li>
+                       <li>
+                       dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or
+                       tiled layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are in
+                       tiled mode or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly.
+                       Popup- and fixed-size windows are treated floating, however. 
+                       </li>
+                       <li>
+                       dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
+                       extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data
+                       which hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names
+                       and status text read from standard input. You don't have to learn
+                       Lua/sh/ruby or some weird configuration file format (like X
+                       resource files), beside C to customize it for your needs,
+                       you <b>only</b> have to learn C.
+                       </li>
+                       <li>
+                       Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's
+                       pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase
+                       small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.
+                       </li>
+                       <li>
+                       dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real
+                       estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of
+                       unfocused clients.
+                       </li>
+                       <li>
+                       dwm reads from standard input to print arbitrary status text (like
+                       the date, load, battery charge). That's much simpler than
+                       larsremote, wmiir and what not...

+                       dwm is only intended to fit Anselms needs. That means, Anselm
