These tiny projects are often cursed by having very few resources when something goes wrong.

Another story, I've been an icewm user for many years and I absolutely loved it. But at some point the bitrot was too much. Windows that didn't gain focus because of newer unimplemented client<->WM protocols, clients that crashed for hard to debug reasons, and so on. There are still some patches being developed for icewm that try to make it work with some newer clients. And there are workarounds on top of workarounds for fighting with Java clients, but at some point I decided it was too buggy and switched.
Writing a window manager could be such a nice project if wouldn't mean implementing terrible but necessary protocols, and fighting with all the bad X11 clients out there.
