 		dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.
 		</p>
-		<h3>Philosophy</h3>
+		<h4>Background</h4>
 		<p>
 		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 model</a>
-		of developmentwhich was basically my mistake. Thus the philosophy of
-		dwm is to fit my needs. That's it.
+		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.

-		<h3>Differences to wmii</h3	
+		<h4>Differences to ion, larswm, and wmii</h4>
 		<p>
-		In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
-		Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler.
