-Ion (based on PWM) is a new kind of window manager that brings a
-text-editorish, keyboard friendly user interface to window management.
-
-Modern GUIs are unusable. Overlapping windows are hard to manage, especially
-from the keyboard, and the user often ends up in a jungle. Not to mention the
-application programs, which are even worse. Mouse-based search-and-click
-interfaces are slow - keyboard is fast having learnt the commands. Ion (the
-last three letters of vision =-) was written as an example and an experiment of
-something presumably better (just the window manager, though).
-
-Ion simply divides the screen into frames that take the whole screen. Big
-displays have so much space that this is convenient and smaller displays
-couldn't show more than one window at a time anyway. The frames can be split
-and growing the size of one will shrink others. Alike in PWM, clients can be
-moved between frames and multiple clients can be attached to one frame.
-
-With Ion you will hardly ever have to touch the mouse again for navigation
-between windows and the windows are always in order.
