Why iniWM? ​

iniWM is designed to be a fast and lightweight window manager that prioritizes simplicity in configuration. Unlike many tiling WMs that require complex scripting or configuration languages, iniWM uses the straightforward INI format, making it easy to understand and customize.

Inspired by the classic master-stack layout(most known in dwm,qtile), it provides a focused workspace with one primary window and a stack for secondary ones, while also offering Monocle, and Grid layouts for flexibility.
