   NERD tree has absolutely nothing to do with desktop window management, and should never have been listed as an alternative.

   I don't like NERD tree as an alternative to bug.n because it's just a vim plugin for browsing file system.

   spectrwm

    11 likes

   spectrwm is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11. It tries to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more important stuff. It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a language to do any configuration.
