title: How great is xmonad if I still want my "old" graphical IDE?
body: <p>I've heard excellent reports of xmonad, but how good is it for everyday use and for development? For various reasons I don't use vim/emacs (though I don't suffer from terminal-phobia!). All the screenshots/videos I've seen show xmonad being used with mainly terminal apps. Is it worth switching from KDE 4.2?</p>
