Not exactly like I do in GNU Emacs! Here, the
application is a hybrid between general things that
are the same everywhere and specific things (the
modes) that relate to a certain task. Even so, stuff
you set up for a specific mode are easily transferred
to another mode, if that should be called for, as
configuration is done the same way everywhere. So the
reward and result from configuration can be big, while
the effort doing it is small and enjoyable, because of
the Elisp familiarity and the "Emacs to improve Emacs"
method.

Because them WMs are in Lisp with a Lisp dynamic
interpreter, I'd say they are much better off with
respect to this than say a WM in C which would have to
be recompiled for each change.

Still, I don't use a WM that much to make it
worthwhile, so I might as well use the WM which is to
the best of my liking the first time I start it, and
that is currently Openbox which, again, is in C, and
there is nothing wrong with that.

This whole discussion tho showed to anyone who didn't
know that yes, there are WMs in Lisp.
