Also, what do you think your choice of environment has to offer that
isn't found, or rarely found in others?

Of all things, WindowMaker - mostly because it's a bit more featureful
than bare-bones roll-your-own-desktop options like FVWM while still
being fairly lightweight and customizable, and it's also designed for a
layout that naturally "letterboxes" today's absolutely inescapable
widescreen displays (which I loathe) with "reserved" columns on both
sides that make maximized windows conform to something a little closer
to a more natural 4:3 aspect ratio. You can do that with roll-your-own
panel-based WM/DEs, but it's nice to have it right out of the box.
