Back in the days of X yore, I ran AfterStep. WindowMaker (now
"Window Maker") dockable apps worked with AS, if I'm remembering
correctly.

Thinking about playing around with WM itself as
a possible replacement for xfce4. Has anyone tried or
is using Window Maker? And if so, how is it?

I tried it.

If you have a high-DPI screen, don't bother. I increased the font sizes
with the configuration app, including the system font -- and it didn't
adjust the size of the widgets in the config app, making the entries
unreadable.

No idea, but I know Window Maker widgets work pretty good on xfce.
