Well then, who am I (61) ? Methuselah ? :-)

I do like and use s/w like FVWM, the Alpine Mail User Agent, the THE Hessling editor (VM/SP XEDIT lookalike) and the Pale Moon browser. They have more or less active user forums, and more or less active developers.

I guess a low activity may also depend by the fact the "emulation" has been accomplished and the s/w is stable needing only "maintenance". This might well be the case of other s/w like e.g. Latex2Html, who have "achieved their goals".

Long live FVWM and all the rest !
