Somebody once described configuring fvwm2 (which is still my WM of choice, and indeed was theirs at the time of writing) as "like training a brain damaged hyena."

The thing is, as the same somebody noted, that then it stays trained.

To quote from upthread, "the same insane for 30 years" is in and of itself a huge feature that makes up for quite a lot of insane.
