			<li>
			dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
			extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data
			which hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names
			and status text read from standard input. You don't have to learn
			Lua/sh/ruby or some weird configuration file format (like X
			resource files), beside C to customize it for your needs,
			you <b>only</b> have to learn C (at least editing header files).
			</li>
			<li>
			Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's
			pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase
			small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.
			</li>
			<li>
			dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real
			estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of
			unfocused clients.
			</li>
			<li>
			dwm reads from standard input to print arbitrary status text (like
			the date, load, battery charge). That's much simpler than
			larsremote, wmiir and what not...
			</li>
			<li>
			It can be downloaded and distributed under the conditions
			of the <a href="http://10kloc.org/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm?f=f10eb1139362;file=LICENSE;style=raw">MIT/X Consortium license</a>.
			</li>
			<li>
			Optionally you can install <b>dmenu</b> to extend dwm with a wmii-alike menu.
