I'm not sure I agree with the thought process of de-cluttering by listing just one or two solutions.

By all means, list them in descending order of quality (by your measure), but I see no benefit in removing alternate choices. Sometimes your first choice won't work in someone else's environment. Sometimes other programs do things in slightly different ways that appeal to others. Sometimes, one program works on game x, but another won't. Sometimes, it's just nonsensical preference- but if it works, it works.

Who actually benefits from the removal of options? If your first choice doesn't work for someone, they can leave a bug report and hope it gets solved quickly. Then what? I value cataloging options, not a "list one and done" approach.

I initially restored my contribution because I did not see your comment as to why it was removed- I thought it might have been accidentally lost in some other edit. I would not have restored my edit had I seen that- I would have made this post first. Following your updated comments, it seems like you made at least some effort to try each program, but have revoked them from the list if they gave you an ounce of trouble. I can't speak for the other contributions, but I didn't add a nonfunctional program to the list. Window Manager admittedly has a few quirks, but I have been using it successfully since 2010...
