While I agree with you fully (using fvwm myself), most people
want fancy :)  Of course fvwm can be made to look like anything
and be very fancy with a bit if work.

To the OP, there are plenty of fvwm configs out there with prints
if you do want to try fvwm.  BTW, fvwm3 is the new version and
it is quite stable.
