Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.

No decor, buttons or even title bar to put them on.
I'd have a really hard time adjusting to anything other than my own XMonad config.
It's like using Vim keybindings.

There's no concept of minimisation here, so I don't have it and don't miss it. There are several other ways of not having a window visible.
Maximisation is just going into monacle mode, or simply viewing it "in its own workspace" (which is not how DWM works at all, but if that's the paradigm you're used to, that's how you'll see it behaving, but it's way more powerful than that).
I so rarely need an exogenous "close" to kill a program/window that I don't even know what the DWM keybinding to kill the program with (or subsequently selected) focus is! If a program doesn't know how to kill itself (terminating the shell (or other process it was invoked specifically to spawn) spawned in a terminal, ^X-^C in an *emacs, ^Q in lots of GUI stuff, etc. etc. etc.) then it's a useless program, and don't use it, or fix it. There is one, I just don't remember it, as I last used it 2 years ago.
