What a blast from the past. WindowMaker served me well for many years, mainly on small screens. But once I started using multi-monitor setups, I switched to i3.
One thing: WindowMaker is easy to use yet full of options to customize the appearance and behaviour of windows, per-application and per-window.
Yet I think its killer feature for many years was the huge (64x64 pixel) "dock apps". There, you could put widgets with a ton of nice functionality, such as WiFi status, mailbox, disk monitoring — or just a clock.
I don't remember if NeXTStep/WM were the first to offer those widgets, but I remember being a fond user of them.
