Graham's TWM page[1] has been around for like two decades
or so and still isn't

Wow, that long, does not seem like it.

even remotely as old as TWM itself, and in 2021 they published an updated
version with even more information, tips, and tricks for TWM[2]. The Tab Window
Manager finds its origins in the lat 1980s, and has been the default window
manager for the X Windowing System for a long time, now, too. Yet, few people
know it exists ? how many people even know X has a default window manager? ?
and even fewer people know you can actually style it, too.

With vdesk(1) you can even have pusedo separate desktops.
